Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] net/smc: fix potential UAF in smc_pnet_add_ib for ib device
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 19:03:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325110352.3833570-2-lixiasong1@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325110352.3833570-1-lixiasong1@huawei.com>
smc_pnet_find_ib() returns an ib device pointer and releases the lock,
then smc_pnet_apply_ib() is called to use this pointer. The device could
be removed between these two calls, leading to a potential use-after-free
when accessing the freed ib_dev pointer.

---- ----
smc_pnet_add_ib()
ib_dev = smc_pnet_find_ib()
mutex_lock(&smc_ib_devices.mutex)
list_for_each_entry() ...
mutex_unlock(&smc_ib_devices.mutex)
smc_ib_remove_dev()
mutex_lock(&smc_ib_devices.mutex)
list_del_init(&smcibdev->list)
mutex_unlock(&smc_ib_devices.mutex)
kfree(smcibdev)
smc_pnet_apply_ib(ib_dev)
ib_dev->pnetid[ib_port - 1] <- UAF (ib_dev already freed)
Fix this by introducing smc_pnet_find_ib_apply() which performs both
find and apply under the same lock, preventing the device from being
removed in between.
Also refactor smc_pnet_apply_ib() into __smc_pnet_apply_ib() (without
lock) and smc_pnet_apply_ib() (with lock) for reuse.
Fixes: 890a2cb4a966 ("net/smc: rework pnet table")
