Changed Description
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.
