[PATCH net 5/9] sctp: sysctl: rto_min/max: avoid using current->nsproxy

From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-01-08 15:35:33
Also in: linux-rdma, linux-sctp, lkml, mptcp, stable

As mentioned in a previous commit of this series, using the 'net'
structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons:

- Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only
  from the opener's netns.

- current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops'
  (null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by
  syzbot [1] using acct(2).

The 'net' structure can be obtained from the table->data using
container_of().

Note that table->data could also be used directly, as this is the only
member needed from the 'net' structure, but that would increase the size
of this fix, to use '*data' everywhere 'net->sctp.rto_min/max' is used.

Fixes: 4f3fdf3bc59c ("sctp: add check rto_min and rto_max in sysctl")
