{"id":"AZL-111224","summary":"CVE-2026-99122 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvsock/vmci: validate packet source for connected sockets\n\nvmci_transport_recv_stream_cb() looks up sockets first by the full source\nand destination tuple, then by destination only in the bound table. The\nfallback can select a non-listening socket without checking whether the\npacket came from its stored peer.\n\nThis was reproduced with two VMCI contexts. A RST from the context not\nstored in a TCP_SYN_SENT socket reset that socket after it was selected by\nthe destination-only lookup.\n\nVMCI can process notification packets in bottom-half context when the\nsocket is not owned by user context, or defer packets to a workqueue. Use\nvsock_check_source() after taking the socket lock in the bottom-half path,\nand recheck after lock_sock() in the workqueue path. Listening sockets\ncontinue to accept packets from any source.\n\nReply with a RST addressed from the received packet before dropping a\nsource that fails validation. This preserves the existing reset behavior\nfor bound non-listening and concurrently closed sockets without directing\nthe reset to a connected socket's stored peer.","modified":"2026-10-30T05:35:37Z","published":"2026-10-28T11:17:31Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-99122"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-99122"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.157.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-111224.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2"}
