CLC is plain TCP and SMC-Rv2/RoCEv2 LLC is IP-routable (UDP/4791), so a remote peer that can reach an AF_SMC listener drives the path.\nAC:L - On SMC-Rv2 links with max_recv_sge==1 (the supported device class this bug exists for), every ADD_LINK reads past the 72-byte qentry regardless of peer contents, and a DELETE_RKEY_V2 with num_rkeys=255 walks up to 255 rkeys off the object; no race or attacker-uncontrollable layout is required.\nPR:N - SMC authenticates nothing. smc_create()/smc_listen() enforce no capabilities, and smc_listen_work() runs the CLC/LLC handshake after TCP accept before accept() returns to userspace, so an unauthenticated network peer needs only reachability to the listener.\nUI:N - The listen worker is queued automatically from smc_tcp_listen_work() for inbound connections, and DELETE_RKEY is processed in the LLC event worker from RDMA completions; no local user action such as mounting a filesystem or opening a file is required.\nS:U - The slab out-of-bounds read and the resulting writes into the link-group rtoken table stay inside the host kernel (kmalloc qentry, lgr->rtokens) and do not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys() reads ext->num_rkeys 22 bytes past the 72-byte qentry and then walks up to 255 16-byte rt[] entries of adjacent heap; smc_llc_rmt_delete_rkey() similarly out-of-bounds-reads rkey[9..254]. Per kernel CNA guidance a large heap out-of-bounds read is High.\nI:H - Those out-of-bounds bytes are passed to smc_rtoken_set() (writes rkey/dma_addr into lgr->rtokens) and smc_rtoken_delete() (clears matching rtokens). Adjacent kmalloc-96 spray lets a peer influence the written values, corrupting RDMA targeting used by ib_post_send.\nA:H - KASAN reports slab-out-of-bounds in smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys on every affected ADD_LINK; a multi-kilobyte walk off a 72-byte object can oops when it hits an unmapped page, and a remote peer can repeat the handshake or DELETE_RKEY at will."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/smc/smc_llc.c"], "versions": [{"version": "27ef6a9981fe74191849966a6d5e0400a4008ab8", "lessThan": "486c699a8cde82c1d9b4f443eeab4ddf86358cb0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27ef6a9981fe74191849966a6d5e0400a4008ab8", "lessThan": "5e5d9e6df677d30a2203d257b5fd8b99814fa607", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27ef6a9981fe74191849966a6d5e0400a4008ab8", "lessThan": "2d1e7c5aaa3326e95e2058457f172ca99a9a4577", "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_llc.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.14", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.14", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc1", "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": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/486c699a8cde82c1d9b4f443eeab4ddf86358cb0"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5e5d9e6df677d30a2203d257b5fd8b99814fa607"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2d1e7c5aaa3326e95e2058457f172ca99a9a4577"}], "title": "net/smc: bound the peer rkey counts in SMC-Rv2 LLC messages", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
