Detail

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: sysctl: cookie_hmac_alg: avoid using current->nsproxy

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.sctp_hmac_alg' is used.
