{"id":"AZL-110891","summary":"CVE-2026-99032 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/smc: protect clcsock lifetime in smc_getname\n\nsmc_getname() dereferences smc-\u003eclcsock without holding\nclcsock_release_lock. Link-group termination can release the CLC socket\nthrough smc_close_active_abort() while the SMC socket is still open,\nfor example after shutdown(SHUT_WR).\n\nA getsockname() caller can load smc-\u003eclcsock, then the termination worker\ncan clear the pointer and call sock_release() before the caller accesses\nclcsock-\u003eops or invokes getname(). This causes a use-after-free; if the\nworker clears the pointer before the load, it causes a NULL dereference.\nThe syscall's file reference keeps the SMC socket alive but does not\nprevent asynchronous release of its CLC socket.\n\nKASAN reported the following with test-only timing instrumentation:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in smc_getname+0x19e/0x1b0\n  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888109abb4e0 by task poc/103\n  Call Trace:\n   smc_getname+0x19e/0x1b0\n   do_getsockname+0xe5/0x170\n   __sys_getsockname+0x8c/0x100\n\n  Allocated by task 95:\n   sock_alloc_inode+0x1e/0x280\n   sock_alloc+0x3d/0x240\n   __sock_create+0x7e/0x430\n   smc_create+0x121/0x240\n\n  Freed by task 0:\n   kmem_cache_free+0xcc/0x340\n   rcu_core+0x50a/0x1850\n\n  Last potentially related work creation:\n   evict+0x446/0x6c0\n   smc_clcsock_release+0xa8/0xd0\n   smc_close_active_abort+0x26a/0x3a0\n   __smc_lgr_terminate.part.0+0x137/0x2e0\n\nHold clcsock_release_lock across the pointer check and the getname()\ncallback to serialize with smc_clcsock_release().
