In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-tcp: don't restore null sk_state_change
queue->state_change is set as part of nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock(), but if
the TCP connection isn't established when nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock() is
called then queue->state_change isn't set and sock->sk->sk_state_change
isn't replaced.
As such we don't need to restore sock->sk->sk_state_change if
queue->state_change is NULL.
This avoids NULL pointer dereferences such as this:
