CVE-2025-40168

HighCVSS 8.1/10Last modified Oct 19, 2026

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in smc_clc_prfx_match().

smc_clc_prfx_match() is called from smc_listen_work() and not under RCU nor RTNL.

Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF.

Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu().

Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_match() is not used in the caller.
