Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net/handshake: fix null-ptr-deref in handshake_nl_done_doit()<br />
<br />
We should not call trace_handshake_cmd_done_err() if socket lookup has failed.<br />
<br />
Also we should call trace_handshake_cmd_done_err() before releasing the file,<br />
otherwise dereferencing sock->sk can return garbage.<br />
<br />
This also reverts 7afc6d0a107f ("net/handshake: Fix uninitialized local variable")<br />

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dfff800000000003<br />
