Summary
CVE-2025-38462 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.200.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vsock: Fix transport_{g2h,h2g} TOCTOU

vsockfindcid() and vsockdevdoioctl() may race with module unload. transport{g2h,h2g} may become NULL after the NULL check.

Introduce vsocktransportlocal_cid() to protect from a potential null-ptr-deref.
