[PATCH net] net/smc: fix out-of-bounds read in smc_clcsock_data_ready()

From: Sechang Lim

Date: Sun Jun 14 2026 - 08:10:25 EST


smc_clcsock_data_ready() is installed on the listen socket and reads its
sk_user_data as an smc_sock. A passive-open child inherits this callback,
but sk_clone_lock() clears the child's sk_user_data because it is tagged
SK_USER_DATA_NOCOPY. smc_tcp_syn_recv_sock() restores the child's af_ops,
but the inherited sk_data_ready() is left in place until accept.

In that window the child is established. A cgroup sock_ops program can run
bpf_sock_hash_update() on it from tcp_init_transfer(); sk_psock_init()
stores a sk_psock in the NULL sk_user_data. The inherited callback then
reads sk_user_data via smc_clcsock_user_data(), which masks only
SK_USER_DATA_NOCOPY, mistakes the sk_psock for an smc_sock, and reads a
callback pointer past the end of the sk_psock:

Restore the inherited sk_data_ready() in smc_tcp_syn_recv_sock(), where the
child's sk_user_data is already cleared, rather than only at accept.
