commit 834e772c8d upstream.
If the network stack calls .send_pkt()/.cancel_pkt() during .release(),
a struct vhost_vsock use-after-free is possible. This occurs because
.release() does not wait for other CPUs to stop using struct
vhost_vsock.
Switch to an RCU-enabled hashtable (indexed by guest CID) so that
.release() can wait for other CPUs by calling synchronize_rcu(). This
also eliminates vhost_vsock_lock acquisition in the data path so it
could have a positive effect on performance.
This is CVE-2018-14625 "kernel: use-after-free Read in vhost_transport_send_pkt".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
