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'

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.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/smc: corrige el acceso ilegal a rmb_desc en el volcado de conexiones SMC-D Se encontró un bloqueo al volcar conexiones SMC-D. Se puede reproducir mediante los siguientes pasos: - ejecute la prueba nginx/wrk: smc_run nginx smc_run wrk -t 16 -c 1000 -d -H 'Conexión: Cerrar' - volcar continuamente las conexiones SMC-D en paralelo: watch -n 1 'smcss -D' ERROR: desreferencia del puntero NULL del kernel, dirección: 00000000000000030 CPU: 2 PID: 7204 Comm: smcss Kdump: cargado Contaminado: GE 6.7.0+ #55 RIP: 0010:__smc_diag_dump.constprop.0+ 0x5e5/0x620 [smc_diag] Seguimiento de llamadas: ? __morir+0x24/0x70 ? page_fault_oops+0x66/0x150? exc_page_fault+0x69/0x140? asm_exc_page_fault+0x26/0x30? __smc_diag_dump.constprop.0+0x5e5/0x620 [smc_diag] ? __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x35d/0x430 ? __alloc_skb+0x77/0x170 smc_diag_dump_proto+0xd0/0xf0 [smc_diag] smc_diag_dump+0x26/0x60 [smc_diag] netlink_dump+0x19f/0x320 __netlink_dump_start+0x1dc/0x300 smc_diag_handler_dump+ 0x6a/0x80 [smc_diag] ? __pfx_smc_diag_dump+0x10/0x10 [smc_diag] sock_diag_rcv_msg+0x121/0x140 ? __pfx_sock_diag_rcv_msg+0x10/0x10 netlink_rcv_skb+0x5a/0x110 sock_diag_rcv+0x28/0x40 netlink_unicast+0x22a/0x330 netlink_sendmsg+0x1f8/0x420 __sock_sendmsg+0xb0/0xc0 ____s ys_sendmsg+0x24e/0x300? copy_msghdr_from_user+0x62/0x80 ___sys_sendmsg+0x7c/0xd0 ? __do_fault+0x34/0x160? do_read_fault+0x5f/0x100? do_fault+0xb0/0x110? __handle_mm_fault+0x2b0/0x6c0 __sys_sendmsg+0x4d/0x80 do_syscall_64+0x69/0x180 Entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76 Es posible que la conexión esté en proceso de establecerse cuando la volcamos. Se supone que la conexión ha sido registrada en un grupo de enlaces por smc_conn_create() pero rmb_desc aún no ha sido inicializado por smc_buf_create(), lo que provoca el acceso ilegal a conn->rmb_desc. Así que solucionelo comprobando antes del volcado.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in which functions providing information about SMC-D connections caused a NULL pointer dereference. This flaw allows an attacker with permission to read this information to cause a denial of service.
