Summary
CVE-2024-53119 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.176.3-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

virtio/vsock: Fix accept_queue memory leak

As the final stages of socket destruction may be delayed, it is possible that virtio_transport_recv_listen() will be called after the accept_queue has been flushed, but before the SOCK_DONE flag has been set. As a result, sockets enqueued after the flush would remain unremoved, leading to a memory leak.

vsock_release __vsock_release lock virtio_transport_release virtio_transport_close schedule_delayed_work(close_work) sk_shutdown = SHUTDOWN_MASK (!) flush accept_queue release virtio_transport_recv_pkt vsock_find_bound_socket lock if flag(SOCK_DONE) return virtio_transport_recv_listen child = vsock_create_connected (!) vsock_enqueue_accept(child) release close_work lock virtio_transport_do_close set_flag(SOCK_DONE) virtio_transport_remove_sock vsock_remove_sock vsock_remove_bound release

Introduce a sk_shutdown check to disallow vsock_enqueue_accept() during socket destruction.
