In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix socket refcount leak in smc_switch_conns()
smc_switch_conns() takes a reference on the SMC socket before dropping
lgr->conns_lock, so the connection stays alive while the CDC slot is
fetched:
sock_hold(&smc->sk);
read_unlock_bh(&lgr->conns_lock);
/* pre-fetch buffer outside of send_lock, might sleep */
rc = smc_cdc_get_free_slot(conn, to_lnk, &wr_buf, NULL, &pend);
if (rc)
goto err_out;
The err_out label only drops the wr_tx link reference, so this early exit
returns without the matching sock_put(). The second error exit is not
affected, because sock_put() has already run by then.
A leaked sk_refcnt means the smc_sock is never destroyed. Its send and
receive buffers stay allocated, and for a user socket the reference held
on the network namespace is never released, so the netns can no longer be
torn down.
smc_cdc_get_free_slot() fails when the target link goes down or when the
connection has been killed while the switch is in progress. Both are
reachable during the link failover this function implements, so the leak
is triggered by the same hardware events that make smc_switch_conns() run
in the first place.
Restructure so there is a single sock_put() covering both outcomes,
instead of adding a second one to the error path.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB) over Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) protocol, specifically within the net/smc component. An error path in the smc_switch_conns() function, triggered during link failover events, can lead to a socket reference count leak. This prevents the affected socket from being properly destroyed, causing its associated send and receive buffers to remain allocated. Consequently, the network namespace cannot be fully released, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) due to resource exhaustion.
