Rejected reason: This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.

[REJECTED CVE] A vulnerability was identified in the Linux kernel’s vsock module where the socket was orphaned before releasing the transport, leading to a NULL pointer dereference if SO_LINGER was enabled. This was caused by sock_orphan() nullifying sk->sk_wq, which was later accessed in virtio_transport_wait_close(). An attacker exploiting this flaw could trigger a kernel crash by closing a vsock socket with SO_LINGER set, leading to a denial of service on the host system.

Rejected reason: This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.

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.
