CVE-2025-38618

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vsock: Do not allow binding to VMADDR_PORT_ANY It is possible for a vsock to autobind to VMADDR_PORT_ANY. This can cause a use-after-free when a connection is made to the bound socket. The socket returned by accept() also has port VMADDR_PORT_ANY but is not on the list of unbound sockets. Binding it will result in an extra refcount decrement similar to the one fixed in fcdd2242c023 (vsock: Keep the binding until socket destruction). Modify the check in __vsock_bind_connectible() to also prevent binding to VMADDR_PORT_ANY.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: vsock: No permitir la vinculación a VMADDR_PORT_ANY. Es posible que un vsock se autoenlace a VMADDR_PORT_ANY. Esto puede causar un use-after-free cuando se establece una conexión al socket enlazado. El socket devuelto por accept() también tiene el puerto VMADDR_PORT_ANY, pero no está en la lista de sockets no enlazados. Vincularlo resultará en una disminución adicional del recuento de referencias similar a la corregida en fcdd2242c023 (vsock: Mantener la vinculación hasta la destrucción del socket). Modifique la comprobación en __vsock_bind_connectible() para evitar también la vinculación a VMADDR_PORT_ANY.
