4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hyunwoo Kim <v4bel@xxxxxxxxx> commit 6ca575374dd9a507cdd16dfa0e78c2e9e20bd05f upstream. During loopback communication, a dangling pointer can be created in vsk->trans, potentially leading to a Use-After-Free condition. This issue is resolved by initializing vsk->trans to NULL.
