Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
vsock/virtio: fix MSG_ZEROCOPY pinned-pages accounting<br />
<br />
virtio_transport_init_zcopy_skb() uses iter->count as the size argument<br />
for msg_zerocopy_realloc(), which in turn passes it to<br />
mm_account_pinned_pages() for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK accounting. However, this<br />
function is called after virtio_transport_fill_skb() has already consumed<br />
the iterator via __zerocopy_sg_from_iter(), so on the last skb, iter->count<br />
will be 0, skipping the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK enforcement.<br />
<br />
Pass pkt_len (the total bytes being sent) as an explicit parameter to<br />
virtio_transport_init_zcopy_skb() instead of reading the already-consumed<br />
iter->count.<br />
<br />
This matches TCP and UDP, which both call msg_zerocopy_realloc() with<br />
the original message size.
