      "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/smc: do not dereference an unset send buffer on the SMC-D teardown path\n\nsmc_close_stream_wait() calls smc_tx_prepared_sends() from inside its\nsk_wait_event() condition, and sk_wait_event() evaluates that condition\nonce with the socket lock released. smcd_buf_detach() clears\nconn->sndbuf_desc from smc_conn_kill() under lock_sock(), so a link group\nterminating while a socket waits there leaves the helper dereferencing\nNULL, faulting out of close(). SIOCOUTQ reads the field by hand, and\nsmc_close_cancel_work() drops the lock across two cancel_*_sync() calls.\n\nSample the pointer once in the helper, report nothing prepared while it is\nunset, and bound the ioctl the same way. The receive tasklet dereferences\nthe field directly in smc_cdc_msg_recv_action(), not through this helper;\n1/2 is what keeps it from running that late."
