Title

net/smc: protect clcsock lifetime in smc_getname

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: protect clcsock lifetime in smc_getname smc_getname() dereferences smc->clcsock without holding clcsock_release_lock. Link-group termination can release the CLC socket through smc_close_active_abort() while the SMC socket is still open, for example after shutdown(SHUT_WR). A getsockname() caller can load smc->clcsock, then the termination worker can clear the pointer and call sock_release() before the caller accesses clcsock->ops or invokes getname(). This causes a use-after-free; if the worker clears the pointer before the load, it causes a NULL dereference. The syscall's file reference keeps the SMC socket alive but does not prevent asynchronous release of its CLC socket. KASAN reported the following with test-only timing instrumentation: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in smc_getname+0x19e/0x1b0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888109abb4e0 by task poc/103 Call Trace: smc_getname+0x19e/0x1b0 do_getsockname+0xe5/0x170 __sys_getsockname+0x8c/0x100 Allocated by task 95: sock_alloc_inode+0x1e/0x280 sock_alloc+0x3d/0x240 __sock_create+0x7e/0x430 smc_create+0x121/0x240 Freed by task 0: kmem_cache_free+0xcc/0x340 rcu_core+0x50a/0x1850 Last potentially related work creation: evict+0x446/0x6c0 smc_clcsock_release+0xa8/0xd0 smc_close_active_abort+0x26a/0x3a0 __smc_lgr_terminate.part.0+0x137/0x2e0 Hold clcsock_release_lock across the pointer check and the getname() callback to serialize with smc_clcsock_release(). Return -EBADF if the CLC socket has already been released, preserving the existing peer state check and the callback's return value otherwise.

Link-group termination can release the CLC socket\nthrough smc_close_active_abort() while the SMC socket is still open,\nfor example after shutdown(SHUT_WR).\n\nA getsockname() caller can load smc-\u003eclcsock, then the termination worker\ncan clear the pointer and call sock_release() before the caller accesses\nclcsock-\u003eops or invokes getname(). This causes a use-after-free; if the\nworker clears the pointer before the load, it causes a NULL dereference.\nThe syscall\u0027s file reference keeps the SMC socket alive but does not\nprevent asynchronous release of its CLC socket.\n\nKASAN reported the following with test-only timing instrumentation:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in smc_getname+0x19e/0x1b0\n  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888109abb4e0 by task poc/103\n  Call Trace:\n   smc_getname+0x19e/0x1b0\n   do_getsockname+0xe5/0x170\n   __sys_getsockname+0x8c/0x100\n\n  Allocated by task 95:\n   sock_alloc_inode+0x1e/0x280\n   sock_alloc+0x3d/0x240\n   __sock_create+0x7e/0x430\n   smc_create+0x121/0x240\n\n  Freed by task 0:\n   kmem_cache_free+0xcc/0x340\n   rcu_core+0x50a/0x1850\n\n  Last potentially related work creation:\n   evict+0x446/0x6c0\n   smc_clcsock_release+0xa8/0xd0\n   smc_close_active_abort+0x26a/0x3a0\n   __smc_lgr_terminate.part.0+0x137/0x2e0\n\nHold clcsock_release_lock across the pointer check and the getname()\ncallback to serialize with smc_clcsock_release().

GHSA-7G97-V76M-W626

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-23 15:31 – Updated: 2026-10-24 15:32

Details

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

net/smc: protect clcsock lifetime in smc_getname

smc_getname() dereferences smc->clcsock without holding clcsock_release_lock. Link-group termination can release the CLC socket through smc_close_active_abort() while the SMC socket is still open, for example after shutdown(SHUT_WR).

A getsockname() caller can load smc->clcsock, then the termination worker can clear the pointer and call sock_release() before the caller accesses clcsock->ops or invokes getname(). This causes a use-after-free; if the worker clears the pointer before the load, it causes a NULL dereference. The syscall's file reference keeps the SMC socket alive but does not prevent asynchronous release of its CLC socket.

KASAN reported the following with test-only timing instrumentation:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in smc_getname+0x19e/0x1b0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888109abb4e0 by task poc/103 Call Trace: smc_getname+0x19e/0x1b0 do_getsockname+0xe5/0x170 __sys_getsockname+0x8c/0x100

Hold clcsock_release_lock across the pointer check and the getname() callback to serialize with smc_clcsock_release(). Return -EBADF if the CLC socket has already been released, preserving the existing peer state check and the callback's return value otherwise.
