Summary
CVE-2024-44996 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.51.1-1
Details

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 vsockbpfrecvmsg(). Thus the following recursiion could happen:

vsockbpfrecvmsg() -> _vsockrecvmsg() -> vsockconnectiblerecvmsg() -> prot->recvmsg() -> vsockbpfrecvmsg() again

We need to fix it by calling the original ->recvmsg() without any BPF sockmap logic in _vsockrecvmsg().
