CVE-2025-40139

Published: November 14, 2025Last modified: November 14, 2025

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in in smc_clc_prfx_set(). smc_clc_prfx_set() is called during connect() and not under RCU nor RTNL. Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF. Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dev_dst_rcu() under rcu_read_lock() after kernel_getsockname(). Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_set() is not used in the caller. While at it, we change the 1st arg of smc_clc_prfx_set[46]_rcu() not to touch dst there.
