CVE-2026-99122

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

vsock/vmci: validate packet source for connected sockets

vmci_transport_recv_stream_cb() looks up sockets first by the full source
and destination tuple, then by destination only in the bound table. The
fallback can select a non-listening socket without checking whether the
packet came from its stored peer.

This was reproduced with two VMCI contexts. A RST from the context not
stored in a TCP_SYN_SENT socket reset that socket after it was selected by
the destination-only lookup.

VMCI can process notification packets in bottom-half context when the
socket is not owned by user context, or defer packets to a workqueue. Use
vsock_check_source() after taking the socket lock in the bottom-half path,
and recheck after lock_sock() in the workqueue path. Listening sockets
continue to accept packets from any source.

Reply with a RST addressed from the received packet before dropping a
source that fails validation. This preserves the existing reset behavior
for bound non-listening and concurrently closed sockets without directing
the reset to a connected socket's stored peer.
