In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: fix NULL sndbuf_desc in smc_cdc_tx_handler() When performing a stress test on SMC-R by rmmod mlx5_ib driver during the wrk/nginx test, we found that there is a probability of triggering a panic while terminating all link groups. This issue dues to the race between smc_smcr_terminate_all() and smc_buf_create(). smc_smcr_terminate_all smc_buf_create /* init */ conn->sndbuf_desc = NULL; ... __smc_lgr_terminate smc_conn_kill smc_close_abort smc_cdc_get_slot_and_msg_send __softirqentry_text_start smc_wr_tx_process_cqe smc_cdc_tx_handler READ(conn->sndbuf_desc->len); /* panic dues to NULL sndbuf_desc */ conn->sndbuf_desc = xxx; This patch tries to fix the issue by always to check the sndbuf_desc before send any cdc msg, to make sure that no null pointer is seen during cqe processing.
