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

netrom: Fix a memory leak in nr_heartbeat_expiry()

syzbot reported a memory leak in nr_create() [0].

Commit 409db27e3a2e ("netrom: Fix use-after-free of a listening socket.")
added sock_hold() to the nr_heartbeat_expiry() function, where
a) a socket has a SOCK_DESTROY flag or
b) a listening socket has a SOCK_DEAD flag.

But in the case "a," when the SOCK_DESTROY flag is set, the file descriptor
has already been closed and the nr_release() function has been called.
So it makes no sense to hold the reference count because no one will
call another nr_destroy_socket() and put it as in the case "b."

nr_connect
nr_establish_data_link
nr_start_heartbeat

nr_release
switch (nr->state)
case NR_STATE_3
nr->state = NR_STATE_2
sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_DESTROY);

nr_rx_frame
nr_process_rx_frame
switch (nr->state)
case NR_STATE_2
nr_state2_machine()
nr_disconnect()
nr_sk(sk)->state = NR_STATE_0
sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD)

nr_heartbeat_expiry
switch (nr->state)
case NR_STATE_0
if (sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DESTROY) ||
(sk->sk_state == TCP_LISTEN
&& sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD)))
sock_hold() // ( !!! )
nr_destroy_socket()

To fix the memory leak, let's call sock_hold() only for a listening socket.
