Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix use-after-free in smc_rx_pipe_buf_release()
smc_rx_splice() hands RMB pages to a pipe and takes a socket reference
per entry so the smc_sock stays alive until the reader finishes. The
connection does not: a concurrent close runs smc_conn_free(), which
releases the receive buffer back to the link group pool.
smc_rx_pipe_buf_release() tests sk_state before taking the socket lock.
The state can change between the test and the lock, and
smc_rx_update_cons() then dereferences conn->rmb_desc and walks
conn->lgr, which smc_conn_free() has already released. On the
is_reg_err path smcr_buf_unuse() frees the descriptor outright, so
this is a use-after-free.
Take the socket lock first and test conn->freed instead.
smc_conn_free() sets that flag before releasing anything, and every
caller holds the socket lock. The two paths exclude each other: either
the pipe release runs first with everything valid, or it sees the flag
and skips the update.
