Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2025-21666
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to the `vsock * has data()` function in the Linux kernel, specifically in the `net/vmw vsock/af vsock.c` module. It involves a null pointer dereference. The problem occurs when `vsock * has data()` is called on a vsock socket that has been de-assigned from a transport. To prevent this, the code now returns 0 (indicating no space or data available) with a warning, allowing the system to continue running in a nearly consistent state and enabling debugging of future problems.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
