In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/smc: protect clcsock lifetime in smc_getname

smc_getname() dereferences smc->clcsock without holding
clcsock_release_lock. Link-group termination can release the CLC socket
through smc_close_active_abort() while the SMC socket is still open,
for example after shutdown(SHUT_WR).

A getsockname() caller can load smc->clcsock, then the termination worker
can clear the pointer and call sock_release() before the caller accesses
clcsock->ops or invokes getname(). This causes a use-after-free; if the
worker clears the pointer before the load, it causes a NULL dereference.
The syscall's file reference keeps the SMC socket alive but does not
prevent asynchronous release of its CLC socket.

KASAN reported the following with test-only timing instrumentation:

Hold clcsock_release_lock across the pointer check and the getname()
callback to serialize with smc_clcsock_release(). Return -EBADF if the
CLC socket has already been released, preserving the existing peer
state check and the callback's return value otherwise.
