In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smc: Fix use-after-free in tcp_write_timer_handler(). With Eric's ref tracker, syzbot finally found a repro for use-after-free in tcp_write_timer_handler() by kernel TCP sockets. [0] If SMC creates a kernel socket in __smc_create(), the kernel socket is supposed to be freed in smc_clcsock_release() by calling sock_release() when we close() the parent SMC socket. However, at the end of smc_clcsock_release(), the kernel socket's sk_state might not be TCP_CLOSE. This means that we have not called inet_csk_destroy_sock() in __tcp_close() and have not stopped the TCP timers. The kernel socket's TCP timers can be fired later, so we need to hold a refcnt for net as we do for MPTCP subflows in mptcp_subflow_create_socket().

Отчет
This vulnerability is rated with a Moderate severity because exploitation requires local access to create Shared Memory Communications (SMC) sockets, limiting the attack surface primarily to authenticated local users rather than remote attackers. While a use-after-free flaw in the kernel's network timer handling can cause memory corruption or a kernel crash resulting in a denial of service, triggering the issue requires specific race timing during socket closure. Additionally, the SMC protocol is not used in standard network configurations and is typically relevant only in environments utilizing specialized network acceleration hardware.
