  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/tls: fix tls_sk_proto_close
    executed repeatedly After setting the sock ktls, update ctx->sk_proto to sock->sk_prot by tls_update(), so
    now ctx->sk_proto->close is tls_sk_proto_close(). When close the sock, tls_sk_proto_close() is called for
    sock->sk_prot->close is tls_sk_proto_close(). But ctx->sk_proto->close() will be executed later in
    tls_sk_proto_close(). Thus tls_sk_proto_close() executed repeatedly occurred. That will trigger the
    following bug. ================================================================= KASAN: null-ptr-deref in
