selinux: Fix Kernel panic due to NULL pointer dereference
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Below Kernel panic is observed due to race condition, where
sock_has_perm called in a thread and is trying to access sksec->sid
without checking sksec. Just before that, sk->sk_security was set
to NULL by selinux_sk_free_security through sk_free in other thread.
