 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Add BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB
 attach type enforcement in BPF_LINK_CREATE bpf_prog_attach uses attach_type_to_prog_type to enforce proper
 attach type for BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB. link_create uses bpf_prog_get and relies on
 bpf_prog_attach_check_attach_type to properly verify prog_type <> attach_type association. Add missing
 attach_type enforcement for the link_create case. Otherwise, it's currently possible to attach cgroup_skb
 prog types to other cgroup hooks. (CVE-2024-38564)
