CVE-2026-46214

MEDIUM · 5.5 CVSS Gepubliceerd:

Beschrijving NL

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

vsock/virtio: fix accept queue count leak on transport mismatch

virtio_transport_recv_listen() calls sk_acceptq_added() before
vsock_assign_transport(). If vsock_assign_transport() fails or
selects a different transport, the error path returns without
calling sk_acceptq_removed(), permanently incrementing
sk_ack_backlog. After approximately backlog+1 such failures, sk_acceptq_is_full()
returns true, causing the listener to reject all new connections. Fix by moving sk_acceptq_added() to after the transport validation,
matching the pattern used by vmci_transport and hyperv_transport.
