net/smc: fix double-free of smc_spd_priv when tee() duplicates splice pipe buffer

2026-04-18T08:31:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 24dd586bb4cbba1889a50abe74143817a095c1c9 ] smc_rx_splice() allocates one smc_spd_priv per pipe_buffer and stores the pointer in pipe_buffer.private. The pipe_buf_operations for these buffers used .get = generic_pipe_buf_get, which only increments the page reference count when tee(2) duplicates a pipe buffer. The smc_spd_priv pointer itself was not handled, so after tee() both the original and the cloned pipe_buffer share the same smc_spd_priv *. When both pipes are subsequently released, smc_rx_pipe_buf_release() is called twice against the same object: 1st call: kfree(priv) sock_put(sk) smc_rx_update_cons() [correct] 2nd call: kfree(priv) sock_put(sk) smc_rx_update_cons() [UAF] KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in smc_rx_pipe_buf_release(), which then escalates to a NULL-pointer dereference and kernel panic via smc_rx_update_consumer() when it chases the freed priv->smc pointer: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in smc_rx_pipe_buf_release+0x78/0x2a0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888004a45740 by task smc_splice_tee_/74 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x53/0x70 print_report+0xce/0x650 kasan_report+0xc6/0x100 smc_rx_pipe_buf_release+0x78/0x2a0 free_pipe_info+0xd4/0x130 pipe_release+0x142/0x160 __fput+0x1c6/0x490 __x64_sys_close+0x4f/0x90 do_syscall_64+0xa6/0x1a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020 RIP: 0010:smc_rx_update_consumer+0x8d/0x350 Call Trace: smc_rx_pipe_buf_release+0x121/0x2a0 free_pipe_info+0xd4/0x130 pipe_release+0x142/0x160 __fput+0x1c6/0x490 __x64_sys_close+0x4f/0x90 do_syscall_64+0xa6/0x1a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception Beyond the memory-safety problem, duplicating an SMC splice buffer is semantically questionable: smc_rx_update_cons() would advance the consumer cursor twice for the same data, corrupting receive-window accounting. A refcount on smc_spd_priv could fix the double-free, but the cursor-accounting issue would still need to be addressed separately. The .get callback is invoked by both tee(2) and splice_pipe_to_pipe() for partial transfers; both will now return -EFAULT. Users who need to duplicate SMC socket data must use a copy-based read path.

net/smc: fix mismatch between CLC header and proposal

2025-12-06T21:08:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit ec33f2e5a2d0dbbfd71435209aee812fdc9369b8 ] The current CLC proposal message construction uses a mix of `ini->smc_type_v1/v2` and `pclc_base->hdr.typev1/v2` to decide whether to include optional extensions (IPv6 prefix extension for v1, and v2 extension). This leads to a critical inconsistency: when `smc_clc_prfx_set()` fails - for example, in IPv6-only environments with only link-local addresses, or when the local IP address and the outgoing interface’s network address are not in the same subnet. As a result, the proposal message is assembled using the stale `ini->smc_type_v1` value—causing the IPv6 prefix extension to be included even though the header indicates v1 is not supported. The peer then receives a malformed CLC proposal where the header type does not match the payload, and immediately resets the connection. The fix ensures consistency between the CLC header flags and the actual payload by synchronizing `ini->smc_type_v1` with `pclc_base->hdr.typev1` when prefix setup fails.

net/smc: fix data error when recvmsg with MSG_PEEK flag

2025-03-13T11:46:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit a4b6539038c1aa1ae871aacf6e41b566c3613993 ] When recvmsg with MSG_PEEK flag, the data will be copied to user's buffer without advancing consume cursor and without reducing the length of rx available data. Once the expected peek length is larger than the value of bytes_to_rcv, in the loop of do while in smc_rx_recvmsg, the first loop will copy bytes_to_rcv bytes of data from the position local_tx_ctrl.cons, the second loop will copy the min(bytes_to_rcv, read_remaining) bytes from the position local_tx_ctrl.cons again because of the lacking of process with advancing consume cursor and reducing the length of available data. So do the subsequent loops. The data copied in the second loop and the subsequent loops will result in data error, as it should not be copied if no more data arrives and it should be copied from the position advancing bytes_to_rcv bytes from the local_tx_ctrl.cons if more data arrives. This issue can be reproduce by the following python script: server.py: import socket import time server_ip = '0.0.0.0' server_port = 12346 server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) server_socket.bind((server_ip, server_port)) server_socket.listen(1) print('Server is running and listening for connections...') conn, addr = server_socket.accept() print('Connected by', addr) while True: data = conn.recv(1024) if not data: break print('Received request:', data.decode()) conn.sendall(b'Hello, client!\n') time.sleep(5) conn.sendall(b'Hello, again!\n') conn.close() client.py: import socket server_ip = '' server_port = 12346 resp=b'Hello, client!\nHello, again!\n' client_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) client_socket.connect((server_ip, server_port)) request = 'Hello, server!' client_socket.sendall(request.encode()) peek_data = client_socket.recv(len(resp), socket.MSG_PEEK | socket.MSG_WAITALL) print('Peeked data:', peek_data.decode()) client_socket.close() Fixes: 952310ccf2d8 ("smc: receive data from RMBE") Reported-by: D.

net/smc: check return value of sock_recvmsg when draining clc data

[ Upstream commit c5b8ee5022a19464783058dc6042e8eefa34e8cd ] When receiving clc msg, the field length in smc_clc_msg_hdr indicates the length of msg should be received from network and the value should not be fully trusted as it is from the network. Once the value of length exceeds the value of buflen in function smc_clc_wait_msg it may run into deadloop when trying to drain the remaining data exceeding buflen.

When the entries of scatterlist exceeds SG_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC, sg chain will be used.
