VLAI
Details

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

net/handshake: fix null-ptr-deref in handshake_nl_done_doit()

We should not call trace_handshake_cmd_done_err() if socket lookup has failed.

Also we should call trace_handshake_cmd_done_err() before releasing the file, otherwise dereferencing sock->sk can return garbage.

This also reverts 7afc6d0a107f ("net/handshake: Fix uninitialized local variable")
