CVE-2026-68399: bpf: Fix UAF in sock clone early bailouts
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix UAF in sock clone early bailouts
Similar to recent commit 9b51a6155d14 ("bpf,fork: wipe ->bpf_storage
before bailouts that access it"), sk_clone() performs an initial
shallow copy of the socket field ->sk_bpf_storage via sock_copy()
for the cloned socket newsk.
If sk_clone() bails out early (e.g. if sk_filter_charge() fails) prior
to calling bpf_sk_storage_clone(), newsk->sk_bpf_storage still points
to the parent socket's BPF local storage. When newsk is subsequently
freed via sk_free(), the deallocation path (__sk_destruct() ->
bpf_sk_storage_free()) destroys the parent socket's BPF local storage,
leading to a use-after-free (UAF) on the parent socket.
Fix this by resetting newsk->sk_bpf_storage to NULL immediately after
sock_copy() in sk_clone(), and remove the now redundant initialization
from bpf_sk_storage_clone().
