Hyunwoo Kim 44d29897ea vsock/virtio: Initialization of the dangling pointer occurring in vsk->trans
commit 6ca575374dd9a507cdd16dfa0e78c2e9e20bd05f upstream.

During loopback communication, a dangling pointer can be created in
vsk->trans, potentially leading to a Use-After-Free condition.  This
issue is resolved by initializing vsk->trans to NULL.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
