  "summary": "Drivers: hv: Don't reset VMBus connection state on error/exit paths",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nDrivers: hv: Don't reset VMBus connection state on error/exit paths\n\nIn two places, current code forces vmbus_connection.conn_state to\nDISCONNECTED prior to calling vmbus_disconnect(). But vmbus_disconnect()\ncalls vmbus_initiate_unload(), which unloads the VMBus connection\nonly if the conn_state is CONNECTED. Consequently, the connection\nremains and the Hyper-V host might continue to send messages or post\nVMBus interrupts.\n\nThe problem was introduced in commit 74347a99e73ae (\"x86/Hyper-V:\nUnload vmbus channel in hv panic callback\"), in that\nvmbus_initiate_unload() started checking the current connection\nstate before doing the unload. This commit removed some occurrences\nwhere conn_state was forced to DISCONNECTED, but these two remained,\napparently due to an oversight at the time.\n\nFix this by not forcing conn_state to DISCONNECTED during VMBus exit,\nor if a failure occurs when establishing the connection in the first\nplace. Whatever value conn_state has at the time is then read by\nvmbus_initiate_unload() to determine if there is a connection to\nbe unloaded.",
