CVE-2024-56602 is a potential use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel IEEE 802.15.4 socket creation code. In ieee802154_create(), sock_init_data() attaches an allocated sk object to the supplied sock object. If socket creation subsequently fails, the sk object is freed without clearing the corresponding pointer in the sock object. The resulting dangling pointer may permit use-after-free. The fix clears the sk pointer on the error path.
