Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: Orphan socket after transport release
During socket release, sock_orphan() is called without considering that it sets sk->sk_wq to NULL. Later, if SO_LINGER is enabled, this leads to a null pointer dereferenced in virtio_transport_wait_close().
Orphan the socket only after transport release.
Partially reverts the 'Fixes:' commit.
