[ Upstream commit 67f93df79aeefc3add4e4b31a752600f834236e2 ] dccp_disconnect() sets 'dp->dccps_hc_tx_ccid' tx handler to NULL, therefore if DCCP socket is disconnected and dccp_sendmsg() is called after it, it will cause a NULL pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit(). This crash and the reproducer was reported by syzbot. Looks like it is reproduced if commit 69c64866ce07 ("dccp: CVE-2017-8824: use-after-free in DCCP code") is applied.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
