Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
vsock/vmci: fix UAF when peer resets connection during handshake<br />
<br />
vmci_transport_recv_connecting_server() returned err = 0 for a peer<br />
RST in its default switch arm:<br />
<br />
err = pkt->type == VMCI_TRANSPORT_PACKET_TYPE_RST ? 0 : -EINVAL;<br />
<br />
That made vmci_transport_recv_listen() skip vsock_remove_pending(),<br />
leaving the pending socket on the listener&#39;s pending_links with<br />
sk_state = TCP_CLOSE while destroy: still dropped the explicit<br />
reference taken before schedule_delayed_work().<br />
<br />
One second later vsock_pending_work() observed is_pending=true and<br />
performed full cleanup: vsock_remove_pending() then the two trailing<br />
sock_put(sk) calls -- the first reached refcount 0 and __sk_freed<br />
the socket, and the second wrote into the freed object:<br />
<br />
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in refcount_warn_saturate<br />
Write of size 4 at addr ffff88800b1cac80 by task kworker<br />
Workqueue: events vsock_pending_work<br />
<br />
Treat peer RST like any other unexpected packet type (err = -EINVAL).<br />
All destroy: arms now return err
