Assumed that the connection has been registered in a\nlink group by smc_conn_create() but the rmb_desc has not yet been\ninitialized by smc_buf_create(), thus causing the illegal access to\nconn->rmb_desc. So fix it by checking before dump.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1fea9969b81c67d0cb1611d1b8b7d19049d937be","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/27aea64838914c6122db5b8bd4bed865c9736f22","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5fed92ca32eafbfae8b6bee8ca34cca71c6a8b6d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/68b888d51ac82f2b96bf5e077a31d76afcdef25a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6994dba06321e3c48fdad0ba796a063d9d82183a"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:46:54.846886191+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-26615","score":0.00259,"percentile":0.17648,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
