Once the value of length exceeds\nthe value of buflen in function smc_clc_wait_msg it may run into deadloop\nwhen trying to drain the remaining data exceeding buflen.\n\nThis patch checks the return value of sock_recvmsg when draining data in\ncase of deadloop in draining." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "baseScore": 7.5, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:N - SMC CLC handshake messages arrive over routable TCP/IP; the malicious `hdr.length` and the subsequent FIN/RST come entirely from a remote peer connecting to an SMC listener (or from a malicious server a client connects to). No adjacency requirement.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically triggers the loop by sending a V2 CLC ACCEPT/CONFIRM/DECLINE header whose length field exceeds the receive buffer and then closing the socket; there is no race, no memory-layout dependency, and every input is attacker-controlled.\nPR:N - The CLC exchange is the very first thing processed after the TCP handshake and SMC performs no authentication whatsoever, so an unauthenticated remote peer reaches `smc_clc_wait_msg()` directly.\nUI:N - On the server side `smc_listen_work()` processes the crafted message automatically on connection acceptance; no local user action is needed.\nS:U - The hang is confined to the kernel's own security authority — a stuck workqueue worker/task and an SMC mutex; no boundary such as a VM or IOMMU domain is crossed.\nC:N - The drain loop reads into a bounded 100-byte stack buffer whose kvec `iov_len` caps every copy, and the discarded data is never returned to anyone; no memory contents are disclosed.\nI:N - No out-of-bounds write or state corruption occurs — even when `datlen` wraps negative, the kvec length bound prevents any overflow, so no data is modified.\nA:H - The unkillable infinite loop burns 100% of a CPU per connection while holding `lock_sock()` and, for SMC-R, the global `smc_server_lgr_pending` mutex, permanently wedging all SMC handshakes on the host; repeating it across connections exhausts every CPU and handshake worker." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/smc/smc_clc.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "fb4f79264c0fc6fd5a68ffe3e31bfff97311e1f1", "lessThan": "82c7ad9ca09975aae737abffd66d1ad98874c13d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fb4f79264c0fc6fd5a68ffe3e31bfff97311e1f1", "lessThan": "6b80924af6216277892d5f091f5bfc7d1265fa28", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fb4f79264c0fc6fd5a68ffe3e31bfff97311e1f1", "lessThan": "d7d1f986ebb284b1db8dafca7d1bdb6dd2445cf6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fb4f79264c0fc6fd5a68ffe3e31bfff97311e1f1", "lessThan": "7a6927814b4256d603e202ae7c5e38db3b338896", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fb4f79264c0fc6fd5a68ffe3e31bfff97311e1f1", "lessThan": "df3dfe1a93c6298d8c09a18e4fba19ef5b17763b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fb4f79264c0fc6fd5a68ffe3e31bfff97311e1f1", "lessThan": "c5b8ee5022a19464783058dc6042e8eefa34e8cd", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/smc/smc_clc.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.8", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.8", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.233", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.176", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.122", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.68", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.7", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.13", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.233" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.176" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.122" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.68" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.7" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.13" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/82c7ad9ca09975aae737abffd66d1ad98874c13d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6b80924af6216277892d5f091f5bfc7d1265fa28" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d7d1f986ebb284b1db8dafca7d1bdb6dd2445cf6" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a6927814b4256d603e202ae7c5e38db3b338896" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/df3dfe1a93c6298d8c09a18e4fba19ef5b17763b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c5b8ee5022a19464783058dc6042e8eefa34e8cd" } ], "title": "net/smc: check return value of sock_recvmsg when draining clc data", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [ { "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/03/msg00001.html" }, { "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/03/msg00002.html" } ], "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2025-11-03T20:54:28.243Z" } } ] } }
