net: Fix skb_set_peeked use-after-free bug
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The commit 738ac1e ("net: Clone
skb before setting peeked flag") introduced a use-after-free bug
in skb_recv_datagram.  This is because skb_set_peeked may create
a new skb and free the existing one.  As it stands the caller will
continue to use the old freed skb.

This patch fixes it by making skb_set_peeked return the new skb
(or the old one if unchanged).
