vsock/vmci: fix UAF when peer resets connection during handshake

2026-06-01T15:35:47+00:00

commit 99e22ddf4edb63dc8382bc028af928056d3450cf upstream. vmci_transport_recv_connecting_server() returned err = 0 for a peer RST in its default switch arm: err = pkt->type == VMCI_TRANSPORT_PACKET_TYPE_RST ? 0 : -EINVAL; That made vmci_transport_recv_listen() skip vsock_remove_pending(), leaving the pending socket on the listener's pending_links with sk_state = TCP_CLOSE while destroy: still dropped the explicit reference taken before schedule_delayed_work(). One second later vsock_pending_work() observed is_pending=true and performed full cleanup: vsock_remove_pending() then the two trailing sock_put(sk) calls -- the first reached refcount 0 and __sk_freed the socket, and the second wrote into the freed object: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in refcount_warn_saturate Write of size 4 at addr ffff88800b1cac80 by task kworker Workqueue: events vsock_pending_work Treat peer RST like any other unexpected packet type (err = -EINVAL). All destroy: arms now return err < 0, so vmci_transport_recv_listen() removes pending from pending_links synchronously and vsock_pending_work() takes the is_pending=false / !rejected branch, dropping only its own work reference. This also closes the multi-packet race Sashiko reported on v2: pending is removed from the list before any subsequent packet can find it. The pre-existing sk_acceptq_removed() gap on the err < 0 path of vmci_transport_recv_listen() that Sashiko also noted is not introduced or changed by this patch. Tested on lts-6.12.79 with KASAN: 52/100 unpatched -> 0/100 patched.

vsock/virtio: fix accept queue count leak on transport mismatch

2026-06-01T15:35:26+00:00

commit 52bcb57a4e8a0865a76c587c2451906342ae1b2d upstream. virtio_transport_recv_listen() calls sk_acceptq_added() before vsock_assign_transport(). If vsock_assign_transport() fails or selects a different transport, the error path returns without calling sk_acceptq_removed(), permanently incrementing sk_ack_backlog. After approximately backlog+1 such failures, sk_acceptq_is_full() returns true, causing the listener to reject all new connections. Fix by moving sk_acceptq_added() to after the transport validation, matching the pattern used by vmci_transport and hyperv_transport.

vsock: fix buffer size clamping order

2026-06-01T15:35:26+00:00

commit d114bfdc9b76bf93b881e195b7ec957c14227bab upstream. In vsock_update_buffer_size(), the buffer size was being clamped to the maximum first, and then to the minimum. If a user sets a minimum buffer size larger than the maximum, the minimum check overrides the maximum check, inverting the constraint. This breaks the intended socket memory boundaries by allowing the vsk->buffer_size to grow beyond the configured vsk->buffer_max_size. Fix this by checking the minimum first, and then the maximum. This ensures the buffer size never exceeds the buffer_max_size.

hv_sock: fix ARM64 support

2026-06-01T15:35:22+00:00

commit b31681206e3f527970a7c7ed807fbf6a028fc25b upstream. VMBUS ring buffers must be page aligned. Therefore, the current value of 24K presents a challenge on ARM64 kernels (with 64K pages). So, use VMBUS_RING_SIZE() to ensure they are always aligned and large enough to hold all of the relevant data.

vmw_vsock: bypass false-positive Wnonnull warning with gcc-16

[ Upstream commit e25dbf561e03c0c5e36228e3b8b784392819ce85 ] The gcc-16.0.1 snapshot produces a false-positive warning that turns into a build failure with CONFIG_WERROR: In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/string.h:6, from net/vmw_vsock/vmci_transport.c:10: In function 'vmci_transport_packet_init', inlined from '__vmci_transport_send_control_pkt.constprop' at net/vmw_vsock/vmci_transport.c:198:2: arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:150:25: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected because argument 3 is nonzero [-Werror=nonnull] 150 | #define memcpy(t, f, n) __builtin_memcpy(t, f, n) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ net/vmw_vsock/vmci_transport.c:164:17: note: in expansion of macro 'memcpy' 164 | memcpy(&pkt->u.wait, wait, sizeof(pkt->u.wait)); | ^~~~~~ arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:150:25: note: in a call to built-in function '__builtin_memcpy' net/vmw_vsock/vmci_transport.c:164:17: note: in expansion of macro 'memcpy' 164 | memcpy(&pkt->u.wait, wait, sizeof(pkt->u.wait)); | ^~~~~~ This seems relatively harmless, and it so far the only instance of this warning I have found.

vsock: Ignore signal/timeout on connect() if already established

2025-12-06T21:09:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 002541ef650b742a198e4be363881439bb9d86b4 ] During connect(), acting on a signal/timeout by disconnecting an already established socket leads to several issues: 1. connect() invoking vsock_transport_cancel_pkt() -> virtio_transport_purge_skbs() may race with sendmsg() invoking virtio_transport_get_credit(). This results in a permanently elevated `vvs->bytes_unsent`. Which, in turn, confuses the SOCK_LINGER handling. 2. connect() resetting a connected socket's state may race with socket being placed in a sockmap. A disconnected socket remaining in a sockmap breaks sockmap's assumptions. And gives rise to WARNs. 3. connect() transitioning SS_CONNECTED -> SS_UNCONNECTED allows for a transport change/drop after TCP_ESTABLISHED. Which poses a problem for any simultaneous sendmsg() or connect() and may result in a use-after-free/null-ptr-deref. Do not disconnect socket on signal/timeout. Keep the logic for unconnected sockets: they don't linger, can't be placed in a sockmap, are rejected by sendmsg().

vsock: fix lock inversion in vsock_assign_transport()

2025-10-29T13:03:12+00:00

commit f7c877e7535260cc7a21484c994e8ce7e8cb6780 upstream. Syzbot reported a potential lock inversion deadlock between vsock_register_mutex and sk_lock-AF_VSOCK when vsock_linger() is called. The issue was introduced by commit 687aa0c5581b ("vsock: Fix transport_* TOCTOU") which added vsock_register_mutex locking in vsock_assign_transport() around the transport->release() call, that can call vsock_linger(). vsock_assign_transport() can be called with sk_lock held. vsock_linger() calls sk_wait_event() that temporarily releases and re-acquires sk_lock. During this window, if another thread hold vsock_register_mutex while trying to acquire sk_lock, a circular dependency is created. Fix this by releasing vsock_register_mutex before calling transport->release() and vsock_deassign_transport(). This is safe because we don't need to hold vsock_register_mutex while releasing the old transport, and we ensure the new transport won't disappear by obtaining a module reference first via try_module_get().

vsock: Do not allow binding to VMADDR_PORT_ANY

2025-08-28T14:24:14+00:00

commit aba0c94f61ec05315fa7815d21aefa4c87f6a9f4 upstream. It is possible for a vsock to autobind to VMADDR_PORT_ANY. This can cause a use-after-free when a connection is made to the bound socket. The socket returned by accept() also has port VMADDR_PORT_ANY but is not on the list of unbound sockets. Binding it will result in an extra refcount decrement similar to the one fixed in fcdd2242c023 (vsock: Keep the binding until socket destruction). Modify the check in __vsock_bind_connectible() to also prevent binding to VMADDR_PORT_ANY.
