HIGH CVSS 8.8 opencve
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vsock/vmci: fix UAF when peer resets connection during handshake 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.

This also closes the\nmulti-packet race Sashiko reported on v2: pending is removed from\nthe list before any subsequent packet can find it.\n\nThe pre-existing sk_acceptq_removed() gap on the err < 0 path of\nvmci_transport_recv_listen() that Sashiko also noted is not\nintroduced or changed by this patch.\n\nTested on lts-6.12.79 with KASAN: 52/100 unpatched -> 0/100 patched.",

"description": "A flaw was found in the `vsock/vmci` component of the Linux kernel. A remote attacker could exploit a Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability when a peer resets a connection during the handshake process. This occurs because the system incorrectly handles reset packets, leading to a pending socket being left in an invalid state. Exploiting this flaw could cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).",
