| Name | CVE-2024-26615 |
| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix illegal rmb_desc access in SMC-D connection dump
A crash was found when dumping SMC-D connections. It can be reproduced
by following steps:
- run nginx/wrk test:
smc_run nginx
smc_run wrk -t 16 -c 1000 -d <duration> -H 'Connection: Close' <URL>
- continuously dump SMC-D connections in parallel:
watch -n 1 'smcss -D'
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000030
CPU: 2 PID: 7204 Comm: smcss Kdump: loaded Tainted: G E 6.7.0+ #55

It is possible that the connection is in process of being established
when we dump it. Assumed that the connection has been registered in a
link group by smc_conn_create() but the rmb_desc has not yet been
initialized by smc_buf_create(), thus causing the illegal access to
conn->rmb_desc. So fix it by checking before dump. |
