Title
vsock: Ignore signal/timeout on connect() if already established
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: Ignore signal/timeout on connect() if already established
During connect(), acting on a signal/timeout by disconnecting an already
established socket leads to several issues:
1. connect() invoking vsock_transport_cancel_pkt() ->
virtio_transport_purge_skbs() may race with sendmsg() invoking
virtio_transport_get_credit(). This results in a permanently elevated
`vvs->bytes_unsent`. Which, in turn, confuses the SOCK_LINGER handling.
2. connect() resetting a connected socket's state may race with socket
being placed in a sockmap. A disconnected socket remaining in a sockmap
breaks sockmap's assumptions. And gives rise to WARNs.
3. connect() transitioning SS_CONNECTED -> SS_UNCONNECTED allows for a
transport change/drop after TCP_ESTABLISHED. Which poses a problem for
any simultaneous sendmsg() or connect() and may result in a
use-after-free/null-ptr-deref.
Do not disconnect socket on signal/timeout. Keep the logic for unconnected
sockets: they don't linger, can't be placed in a sockmap, are rejected by
sendmsg().

No root, CAP_NET_ADMIN, or namespace trickery is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker\u0027s own threads perform every step \u2014 connect, accept, signal delivery, and the follow-up connect/sendmsg. No victim action is required.\nS:U - The corruption and its impact are confined to the kernel\u0027s own security authority; there is no guest-to-host or IOMMU boundary crossing involved in the freed vsock transport state.\nC:H - The transport change/drop after TCP_ESTABLISHED yields a use-after-free of the kmalloc\u0027d virtio_vsock_sock and a stale transport ops pointer reachable from sendmsg(); heap reclaim of the freed object gives an attacker-controlled read primitive over kernel memory.\nI:H - The same use-after-free permits heap spraying over the freed transport state and invocation of function pointers from a stale ops/module reference, providing a write and control-flow hijack primitive as in prior vsock UAF exploits.\nA:H - The commit explicitly notes use-after-free/NULL-pointer dereference, plus sockmap WARNs and a permanently elevated bytes_unsent that breaks SOCK_LINGER handling \u2014 any of which oops or hang the kernel, and the race can be re-run at will."
