CVE-2025-40139
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in in smc_clc_prfx_set().
smc_clc_prfx_set() is called during connect() and not under RCU nor RTNL.
Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF.
Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dev_dst_rcu() under rcu_read_lock() after kernel_getsockname().
Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_set() is not used in the caller.
While at it, we change the 1st arg of smc_clc_prfx_set[46]_rcu() not to touch dst there.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.15%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 4
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
