Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: Do not re-initialize smc hashtables INIT_HLIST_HEAD(&smc_v*_hashinfo.ht) are called after smc_nl_init(), proto_register() and sock_register(). This can lead to smc_v*_hashinfo.ht being reset even though hash entries already exist and are being used, possibly resulting in a corrupted list. Remove unnecessary and dangerous re-initialisation of smc_v*_hashinfo.ht in smc_init(); it is implicitly initialised to zero anyhow. Add HLIST_HEAD_INIT to the definitions for clarity.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.11 < 5.10.259) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.210) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.176) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.143) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.93) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.35) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 7.0.12) • linux linux kernel 7.1
