CPU: 1 PID: 10664 Comm: kworker/1:5 Not tainted 6.6.0-rc3-00146-g9f3ebbef746f #3
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.2-1.fc38 04/01/2014

=====================================================

The following simple reproducer can cause the issue described above:

int main(void)
{
  int sock;
  struct sockaddr_vm addr = {
    .svm_family = AF_VSOCK,
    .svm_cid = VMADDR_CID_ANY,
    .svm_port = 1234,
  };

  sock = socket(AF_VSOCK, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
  connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
  return 0;
}

This issue occurs because the `buf_alloc` and `fwd_cnt` fields of the
`struct virtio_vsock_hdr` are not initialized when a new skb is allocated
in `virtio_transport_init_hdr()`. This patch resolves the issue by
initializing these fields during allocation.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52842 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:
