virtio_transport_recv_pkt() first looks up a socket using the full source
and destination tuple. If that misses, it falls back to a bound-socket
lookup using only the destination address. The fallback is needed for
listening and connecting sockets, but it can also select an established
socket that remains in the bound table.
As a result, a packet from an unrelated source can be dispatched to a
non-listening socket. In TCP_SYN_SENT, a source-blind RESPONSE marks the
selected socket established while retaining its original remote address.
Subsequent RW packets can likewise be delivered through the
destination-only fallback.
This was reproduced with two capless processes under different UIDs. The
attacker discovered the victim tuple through unprivileged AF_VSOCK
sock_diag and injected a chosen 16-byte payload into the victim established
loopback socket. The legitimate peer received none of those bytes.
After taking the socket lock, verify that packets for non-listening sockets
come from the peer stored in remote_addr. Listening sockets continue to
accept packets from any source.
