Subject: CVE-2025-38035: nvmet-tcp: don't restore null sk_state_change
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
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:

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
