Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() from sk_mc_loop()
sk_mc_loop() can be called for sockets that are neither AF_INET
nor AF_INET6 (e.g. AF_PACKET sockets when sending packets via raw/packet
socket over virtual devices such as VRF or ipvlan).
In such cases, sk_family is not AF_INET/AF_INET6 and sk_mc_loop() falls
through the switch statement and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(1).
Non-INET sockets do not support IP_MULTICAST_LOOP or IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP
options, so loopback should default to true without generating a warning.
