Subject: CVE-2026-52994: vsock/virtio: fix MSG_ZEROCOPY pinned-pages accounting
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 17:30:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026062445-CVE-2026-52994-fe3c@gregkh> (raw)

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

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

vsock/virtio: fix MSG_ZEROCOPY pinned-pages accounting

virtio_transport_init_zcopy_skb() uses iter->count as the size argument
for msg_zerocopy_realloc(), which in turn passes it to
mm_account_pinned_pages() for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK accounting. However, this
function is called after virtio_transport_fill_skb() has already consumed
the iterator via __zerocopy_sg_from_iter(), so on the last skb, iter->count
will be 0, skipping the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK enforcement.

Pass pkt_len (the total bytes being sent) as an explicit parameter to
virtio_transport_init_zcopy_skb() instead of reading the already-consumed
iter->count.

This matches TCP and UDP, which both call msg_zerocopy_realloc() with
the original message size.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-52994 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6af1736b5810bc8a4a43a8518530113f5a757dc1
