NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-obs-qa package and not the kernel-obs-qa package as distributed by SLES.

In the Linux kernel through 4.20.11, af_alg_release() in crypto/af_alg.c neglects to set a NULL value for a certain structure member, which leads to a use-after-free in sockfs_setattr.
