{"cve":"CVE-2026-80982","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-11T20:19:04.667","modified":"2026-10-19T09:17:30.643","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/smc: fix use-after-free in smc_rx_pipe_buf_release()\n\nsmc_rx_splice() hands RMB pages to a pipe and takes a socket reference\nper entry so the smc_sock stays alive until the reader finishes. The\nconnection does not: a concurrent close runs smc_conn_free(), which\nreleases the receive buffer back to the link group pool.\n\nsmc_rx_pipe_buf_release() tests sk_state before taking the socket lock.\nThe state can change between the test and the lock, and\nsmc_rx_update_cons() then dereferences conn->rmb_desc and walks\nconn->lgr, which smc_conn_free() has already released. On the\nis_reg_err path smcr_buf_unuse() frees the descriptor outright, so\nthis is a use-after-free.\n\nTake the socket lock first and test conn->freed instead.\nsmc_conn_free() sets that flag before releasing anything, and every\ncaller holds the socket lock. The two paths exclude each other: either\nthe pipe release runs first with everything valid, or it sees the flag\nand skips the update.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0761e49aa78c2f1362511054c6e9670653858837","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0926f59ca0f94120895b92180c636a48d0ed3a6d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a644a7340df978785f3109d1e0726a982ce2c6f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c924884743e948e25625b7fbf3ee2a9325a204a7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dadd97c8296b23aa816e91ed70041820ae087baa"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80982","score":0.00164,"percentile":0.05552,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
