[PATCH net v2] net/smc: fix out-of-bounds read when sk_user_data holds a sk_psock
From: Sechang Lim
Date: Fri Jun 19 2026 - 11:05:02 EST
SMC stores its smc_sock in the clcsock's sk_user_data tagged
SK_USER_DATA_NOCOPY and reads it back with smc_clcsock_user_data(), which
only strips that flag. sockmap stores a sk_psock in the same field tagged
SK_USER_DATA_NOCOPY | SK_USER_DATA_PSOCK. Nothing keeps both off one
socket, and SMC then casts the sk_psock to an smc_sock.
A passive-open child hits this. It inherits the listener's
smc_clcsock_data_ready(), but sk_clone_lock() clears its NOCOPY
sk_user_data, and a BPF sock_ops program then adds the child to a sockmap,
installing a sk_psock in that field. The inherited callback reads it as an
smc_sock and dereferences a clcsk_* pointer past the end of the sk_psock:

sk_psock() already guards the other side, returning NULL unless
SK_USER_DATA_PSOCK is set. Make smc_clcsock_user_data() and its RCU
variant return the smc_sock only when sk_user_data carries SMC's tag
alone. A sk_psock then reads back as NULL, which the data_ready and
fallback callbacks already handle.
