CVE-2026-74613

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vsock/virtio: avoid refilling the RX queue after teardown

Commit b917507e5ad9 (vsock/virtio: stop workers during the .remove()) made the RX worker jump to its common exit when rx_run is clear. That exit still refills the RX queue when the buffer count is low, so work queued across virtio_vsock_vqs_del() can add buffers after the virtqueues have been deleted.

Jump to a no-refill exit when rx_run is clear, leaving the normal exit to replenish a running queue.
