Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-18 15:40:31 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/smc: fix UAF on lgr list traversal in smcr_port_err()

smcr_port_err() traverses smc_lgr_list.list without holding
smc_lgr_list.lock, allowing a concurrent smc_lgr_terminate_sched()
to free an lgr while it is still being dereferenced.

Hold smc_lgr_list.lock across the traversal. Update
smc_ib_gid_check() to call smcr_port_err() after releasing the lock.
