jira VULN-80685 cve-bf CVE-2025-38461 commit-author Stefano Garzarella <[email protected]> commit a24009b Transport's release() and destruct() are called when de-assigning the vsock transport. These callbacks can touch some socket state like sock flags, sk_state, and peer_shutdown. Since we are reassigning the socket to a new transport during vsock_connect(), let's reset these fields to have a clean state with the new transport.

jira VULN-80685 cve-bf CVE-2025-38461 commit-author Stefano Garzarella <[email protected]> commit f7c877e Syzbot reported a potential lock inversion deadlock between vsock_register_mutex and sk_lock-AF_VSOCK when vsock_linger() is called. The issue was introduced by commit 687aa0c ("vsock: Fix transport_* TOCTOU") which added vsock_register_mutex locking in vsock_assign_transport() around the transport->release() call, that can call vsock_linger(). vsock_assign_transport() can be called with sk_lock held. vsock_linger() calls sk_wait_event() that temporarily releases and re-acquires sk_lock. During this window, if another thread hold vsock_register_mutex while trying to acquire sk_lock, a circular dependency is created. Fix this by releasing vsock_register_mutex before calling transport->release() and vsock_deassign_transport(). This is safe because we don't need to hold vsock_register_mutex while releasing the old transport, and we ensure the new transport won't disappear by obtaining a module reference first via try_module_get().

DESCRIPTION
Commit
was cherry picked without its dependency.
This will add the dependency to avoid any issues in the future.
NOTES
was added to make the second patch diff the same. otherwise it would
have been 2 separate hunks, even though the changes were the same.
Moreover, this fixes
The same commit that the CVE fix addresses. So it's also a bug fix.
should have been before
but, it's too late for that. And implementation wise, it is fine.
I did not test again since I just changed the commit description.
