CVE-2025-21756
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vsock: Keep the binding until socket destruction

Preserve sockets bindings; this includes both resulting from an explicit
bind() and those implicitly bound through autobind during connect().

Prevents socket unbinding during a transport reassignment, which fixes a
use-after-free:

    1. vsock_create() (refcnt=1) calls vsock_insert_unbound() (refcnt=2)
    2. transport->release() calls vsock_remove_bound() without checking if
       sk was bound and moved to bound list (refcnt=1)
    3. vsock_bind() assumes sk is in unbound list and before
       __vsock_insert_bound(vsock_bound_sockets()) calls
       __vsock_remove_bound() which does:
           list_del_init(&vsk->bound_table); // nop
           sock_put(&vsk->sk);               // refcnt=0
