CVE-2026-80980
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: stop killed, freed and out_of_sync sharing a byte
The three connection state flags are single-bit bitfields, so they occupy one byte of struct smc_connection and every store to one is a read-modify-write of the other two:
They are not written under a common lock. smc_cdc_msg_validate() sets out_of_sync from the receive tasklet, while smc_conn_kill() sets killed from process context under lock_sock(), and the receive path does not defer to the backlog when the socket is owned -- smc_cdc_msg_recv() takes only bh_lock_sock().

Give each flag its own byte so a store no longer touches its neighbours. All readers test them as booleans and are unchanged. struct smc_connection grows by two bytes.

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access75 % - Impacto principal
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact65 % - Impacto secundario
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation60 %
Red sin privilegios (AV:N/PR:N) permite explotación remota (T1190). Race condition en flags SMC kernel provoca DoS por corrupción de estado (T1499.004) o escalada local de privilegios (T1068).
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
