Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
vsock/virtio: Validate length in packet header before skb_put()<br />
<br />
When receiving a vsock packet in the guest, only the virtqueue buffer<br />
size is validated prior to virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put(). Unfortunately,<br />
virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put() uses the length from the packet header as the<br />
length argument to skb_put(), potentially resulting in SKB overflow if<br />
the host has gone wonky.<br />
<br />
Validate the length as advertised by the packet header before calling<br />
virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put().
