There is no guarantee that state->sk refers to a full socket.

If refcount transitions to 0, sock_put calls sk_free which then ends up
with garbage fields.

I'd like to thank Oleksandr Natalenko and Jiri Benc for considerable
debug work and pointing out state->sk oddities.

Fixes: ca6fb065 ("tcp: attach SYNACK messages to request sockets instead of listener")

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
