Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: fix recursive ->recvmsg calls
After a vsock socket has been added to a BPF sockmap, its prot->recvmsg
has been replaced with vsock_bpf_recvmsg(). Thus the following
recursiion could happen:
vsock_bpf_recvmsg()
-> __vsock_recvmsg()
-> vsock_connectible_recvmsg()
-> prot->recvmsg()
-> vsock_bpf_recvmsg() again
We need to fix it by calling the original ->recvmsg() without any BPF
sockmap logic in __vsock_recvmsg().
