Re: use-after-free in sctp_do_sm

[Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com>]

Hi Dmitry,

Can you please test this patch?
I'll re-post with proper subject if it works.

Thanks.

---8<---

Dmitry Vyukov reported a use-after-free in the code expanded by the
macro debug_post_sfx, which is caused by the use of the asoc pointer
after it was freed within sctp_side_effect() scope.

This patch fixes it by allowing sctp_side_effect to clear that asoc
pointer when the TCB is freed.

The macro is already prepared to handle such NULL pointer.
