CVE-2026-52941

The CVE-2026-52941 issue affects the Linux kernel’s SMC tracepoints. The smc_msg_event tracepoint unconditionally dereferences smc->conn.lnk->ibname, causing a NULL dereference when conn->lnk is NULL on SMC-D (while it is set for SMC-R). This can crash the first sendmsg()/recvmsg() on an...

kernel: smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in smc_clc_prfx_match()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s SMC Shared Memory Communication module: in smcclcprfxmatch, the function is called from smclistenwork without proper RCU or RTNL protection. The code previously used skdstgetsk-dev, which can lead to a use-after-free UAF condition if the sk’s destination is...
