Description
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.
