In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix UAF on lgr list traversal in smcr_port_err()
smcr_port_err() traverses smc_lgr_list.list without holding
smc_lgr_list.lock, allowing a concurrent smc_lgr_terminate_sched()
to free an lgr while it is still being dereferenced.
Hold smc_lgr_list.lock across the traversal. Update
smc_ib_gid_check() to call smcr_port_err() after releasing the lock.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Shared Memory Communications (SMC) subsystem. When processing port errors, the kernel traverses active link groups without holding the appropriate lock, allowing a concurrent termination event to free memory while it is still in use. An attacker capable of inducing these concurrent network events could exploit this race condition to trigger a use-after-free flaw, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) via a system crash.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate impact for Red Hat Enterprise Linux because triggering the race condition requires precise timing during link group error handling, primarily leading to a denial of service via a kernel crash rather than arbitrary code execution. Furthermore, Shared Memory Communications (SMC) is not used by default in standard configurations and relies on RDMA-capable hardware or configured RoCE interfaces. Systems that do not utilize SMC or RoCE devices are not susceptible to this flaw.
