Summary
vsock/virtio: bind uarg before filling zerocopy skb
Details

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

vsock/virtio: bind uarg before filling zerocopy skb

virtiotransportsendpktinfo() allocates or reuses the zerocopy uarg before entering the send loop, but virtiotransportallocskb() still fills the skb before it inherits that uarg. When fixed-buffer vectored zerocopy hits MAXSKBFRAGS, iosgfromiter() may partially attach managed frags and return -EMSGSIZE. The rollback path call kfreeskb() to free an skb that carries SKBFLMANAGEDFRAGREFS but no uarg, so skbreleasedata() falls through to ordinary frag unref.

Pass the uarg into virtiotransportallocskb() and bind it immediately before virtiotransportfillskb(). This keeps control or no-payload skbs untouched while ensuring success and rollback share one lifetime rule.
