Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix connection leak
There's a potential leak issue under following execution sequence :
smc_release smc_connect_work
if (sk->sk_state == SMC_INIT)
send_clc_confirim
tcp_abort();
...
sk.sk_state = SMC_ACTIVE
smc_close_active
switch(sk->sk_state) {
...
case SMC_ACTIVE:
smc_close_final()
// then wait peer closed
Unfortunately, tcp_abort() may discard CLC CONFIRM messages that are
still in the tcp send buffer, in which case our connection token cannot
be delivered to the server side, which means that we cannot get a
passive close message at all. Therefore, it is impossible for the to be
disconnected at all.
This patch tries a very simple way to avoid this issue, once the state
has changed to SMC_ACTIVE after tcp_abort(), we can actively abort the
smc connection, considering that the state is SMC_INIT before
tcp_abort(), abandoning the complete disconnection process should not
cause too much problem.
In fact, this problem may exist as long as the CLC CONFIRM message is
not received by the server. Whether a timer should be added after
smc_close_final() needs to be discussed in the future. But even so, this
patch provides a faster release for connection in above case, it should
also be valuable.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's net/smc subsystem that addressed a connection leak issue. The problem occurred when a CLC CONFIRM message, crucial for completing a connection, was discarded after a TCP abort, preventing the server from closing the connection.
Отчет
This issue marked as Moderate with "not affected" for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as it is not vulnerable to this CVE. This is because the CVE does not impact the versions or configurations of the Linux kernel used in Red Hat's distributions. Additionally, some RHEL versions may be marked as "will not fix" due to the minimal impact of the issue, and no fix will be provided.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
