In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:af_unix: Fix task hung while purging oob_skb in GC.syzbot reported a task hung; at the same time, GC was looping infinitely
in list_for_each_entry_safe() for OOB skb.  [0]syzbot demonstrated that the list_for_each_entry_safe() was not actually
safe in this case.A single skb could have references for multiple sockets.  If we free such
a skb in the list_for_each_entry_safe(), the current and next sockets could
be unlinked in a single iteration.unix_notinflight() uses list_del_init() to unlink the socket, so the
prefetched next socket forms a loop itself and list_for_each_entry_safe()
never stops.Here, we must use while() and make sure we always fetch the first socket.[0]:
