In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/tunnel: wait until all skuserdata reader finish before releasing the sock

There is a race condition in vxlan that when deleting a vxlan device during receiving packets, there is a possibility that the sock is released after getting vxlansock vs from skuserdata. Then in later vxlanecndecapsulate(), vxlangetskfamily() we will got NULL pointer dereference. e.g.
