CVE-2026-52938
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_sk_storage_clone and diag paths
bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() sets SDATA(selem)->smap to NULL before removing the selem from the storage hlist. A concurrent RCU reader in bpf_sk_storage_clone() can observe the selem still on the list with smap already NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
Add a NULL check for smap in bpf_sk_storage_clone().
bpf_sk_storage_diag_put_all() has the same issue. Add a NULL check and pass the validated smap directly to diag_get(), which is refactored to take smap as a parameter instead of reading it internally.

bpf_sk_storage_diag_put() uses diag->maps[i] which is always valid under its refcount, so diag->maps[i] is passed directly to diag_get().
