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

virtio/vsock: Fix acceptqueue memory leak

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

vsockrelease vsockrelease lock virtiotransportrelease virtiotransportclose scheduledelayedwork(closework) skshutdown = SHUTDOWNMASK (!) flush acceptqueue release virtiotransportrecvpkt vsockfindboundsocket lock if flag(SOCKDONE) return virtiotransportrecvlisten child = vsockcreateconnected (!) vsockenqueueaccept(child) release closework lock virtiotransportdoclose setflag(SOCKDONE) virtiotransportremovesock vsockremovesock vsockremovebound release

Introduce a skshutdown check to disallow vsockenqueueaccept() during socket destruction.
