Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] net/smc: fix potential UAF in smc_pnet_add_ib for smcd device
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 19:03:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325110352.3833570-3-lixiasong1@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325110352.3833570-1-lixiasong1@huawei.com>
smc_pnet_find_smcd() returns an smcd device pointer and releases the
lock, then smc_pnet_apply_smcd() 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 smcd pointer.

---- ----
smc_pnet_add_ib()
smcd = smc_pnet_find_smcd()
mutex_lock(&smcd_dev_list.mutex)
list_for_each_entry() ...
mutex_unlock(&smcd_dev_list.mutex)
smcd_unregister_dev()
mutex_lock(&smcd_dev_list.mutex)
list_del_init(&smcd->list)
mutex_unlock(&smcd_dev_list.mutex)
kfree(smcd)
smc_pnet_apply_smcd(smcd)
smcd->pnetid <- UAF (smcd already freed)
Fix this by introducing smc_pnet_find_smcd_apply() which performs both
find and apply under the same lock, preventing the device from being
removed in between.
Also refactor smc_pnet_apply_smcd() into __smc_pnet_apply_smcd()
(without lock) and smc_pnet_apply_smcd() (with lock) for reuse.
Fixes: 69baaac9361e ("dibs: Define dibs_client_ops and dibs_dev_ops")
