NameCVE-2025-38462
DescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vsock: Fix transport_{g2h,h2g} TOCTOU vsock_find_cid() and vsock_dev_do_ioctl() may race with module unload. transport_{g2h,h2g} may become NULL after the NULL check. Introduce vsock_transport_local_cid() to protect from a potential null-ptr-deref.
