Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-53365

Vulnerability identifier: #VU137403

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53365

CWE-ID: CWE-772

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: Public exploit is available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource management in virtio vsock zerocopy completion handling in net/vmw_vsock/virtio_transport_common.c when processing multi-skb MSG_ZEROCOPY sends. A local user can send a large crafted message that is fragmented into multiple skbs to cause a denial of service.

The issue can leave pinned user pages without completion notification, including when the send loop exits before the final skb is processed.
