In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  net/smc: fix use-after-free of the LLC qentry in smcllcsrvaddlink()  smcllcsrvaddlink() keeps addllc pointing into the queue entry:    addllc = &qentry->msg.addlink; smcllc.c:1482   ...   smcllcsaveaddlinkinfo(linknew, addllc); smcllc.c:1494   smcllcflowqentrydel(&lgr->llcflowlcl); smcllc.c:1495   ...   u8 llcmsg = smclinksharedv2rxbuf(link) ? (u8 *)lgr->wrrxbufv2 : (u8 )addllc; smcllc.c:1504   smcllcsaveaddlinkrkeys(link, linknew, llcmsg); smcllc.c:1506  smcllcflowqentrydel() kfree()s the entry, so on a link without a shared v2 receive buffer the pointer handed to smcllcsaveaddlinkrkeys() is already freed. Before the Fixes: commit that branch always used lgr->wrrxbufv2 and addllc was not used after the free.  Reproduced on an unpatched tree over rxe, with KASAN, kasanmultishot and a link forced to maxrecvsge == 1: the entry is freed and read by the same call, and the freeing frame is smcllcsrvaddlink() itself.    [    2.523161] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in smcllcsaveaddlinkrkeys+0x333/0x350   [    2.523499] Read of size 2 at addr ffff8880052194de by task kworker/0:1/11   [    2.523789]   [    2.523862] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 11 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 7.2.0-rc5-p0-g2c9dd296545d #35 PREEMPT(lazy)   [    2.523865] Hardware name: QEMU Ubuntu 24.04 PC v2 (i440FX + PIIX, archcaps fix, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014   [    2.523866] Workqueue: smchswq smclistenwork   [    2.523869] Call Trace:   [    2.523870]  <TASK>   [    2.523871]  dumpstacklvl+0x53/0x70   [    2.523872]  printreport+0xd0/0x630   [    2.523874]  ? pfxrawspinlockirqsave+0x10/0x10   [    2.523876]  ? smcllcsaveaddlinkrkeys+0x333/0x350   [    2.523878]  kasanreport+0xce/0x100   [    2.523879]  ? smcllcsaveaddlinkrkeys+0x333/0x350   [    2.523881]  smcllcsaveaddlinkrkeys+0x333/0x350   [    2.523883]  ? smcrbufreglgr+0x2a4/0x660   [    2.523885]  smcllcsrvaddlink+0xaa2/0x1e50   [    2.523888]  ? printk+0xba/0xf0   [    2.523897]  ? pfxsmcllcsrvaddlink+0x10/0x10   [    2.523899]  ? downwrite+0xb0/0x130   [    2.523903]  ? pfxdownwrite+0x10/0x10   [    2.523905]  smclistenwork+0x489e/0x4d00   [    2.523907]  ? kmemcachefree+0x1c6/0x3a0   [    2.523911]  ? pfxsmclistenwork+0x10/0x10   [    2.523913]  ? releasesock+0x148/0x1d0   [    2.523915]  ? smctcplistenwork+0xb4f/0xfc0   [    2.523917]  ? rawspinlockirq+0x80/0xe0   [    2.523918]  ? pfxrawspinlockirq+0x10/0x10   [    2.523920]  processonework+0x633/0x1030   [    2.523922]  ? assignwork+0x11d/0x370   [    2.523924]  workerthread+0x45b/0xd10   [    2.523926]  ? pfxworkerthread+0x10/0x10   [    2.523928]  ? pfxworkerthread+0x10/0x10   [    2.523929]  kthread+0x2c6/0x3b0   [    2.523931]  ? recalcsigpending+0x15c/0x1e0   [    2.523934]  ? pfxkthread+0x10/0x10   [    2.523935]  retfromfork+0x36e/0x5a0   [    2.523937]  ? pfxretfromfork+0x10/0x10   [    2.523938]  ? switchto+0x572/0xdd0   [    2.523943]  ? pfxkthread+0x10/0x10   [    2.523944]  retfromforkasm+0x1a/0x30   [    2.523947]  </TASK>   [    2.523948]   [    2.531253] Allocated by task 48:   [    2.531399]  kasansavestack+0x33/0x60   [    2.531570]  kasansavetrack+0x14/0x30   [    2.531737]  kasankmalloc+0x8f/0xa0   [    2.531905]  kmalloccachenoprof+0x158/0x370   [    2.532100]  smcllcenqueue+0x72/0x560   [    2.532268]  smcwrrxtaskletfn+0x474/0xa80   [    2.532491]  taskletactioncommon+0x20f/0x8a0   [    2.532714]  handlesoftirqs+0x18e/0x590   [    2.532886]  dosoftirq+0x3b/0x60   [    2.533036]  localbhenableip+0x61/0x70   [    2.533221]  _allocskb+0x732/0x890   [    2.533384]  rxeinitpacket+0x16b/0x4f0   [    2.533567]  prepareackpacket+0xb8/0x830   [    2.533760]  rxereceiver+0x495/0x96e0   [    2.533933]  dowork+0x144/0x470   [    2 ---truncated---
