Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
vsock: Fix transport_{g2h,h2g} TOCTOU<br />
<br />
vsock_find_cid() and vsock_dev_do_ioctl() may race with module unload.<br />
transport_{g2h,h2g} may become NULL after the NULL check.<br />
<br />
Introduce vsock_transport_local_cid() to protect from a potential<br />
null-ptr-deref.<br />
<br />
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000118-0x000000000000011f]<br />
