  3. CVE-2024-35934
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: reduce rtnl pressure in smc_pnet_create_pnetids_list() Many syzbot reports show extreme rtnl pressure, and many of them hint that smc acquires rtnl in netns creation for no good reason [1] This patch returns early from smc_pnet_net_init() if there is no netdevice yet. I am not even sure why smc_pnet_create_pnetids_list() even exists, because smc_pnet_netdev_event() is also calling smc_pnet_add_base_pnetid() when handling NETDEV_UP event.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/smc: reduce la presión rtnl en smc_pnet_create_pnetids_list() Muchos informes de syzbot muestran una presión rtnl extrema, y muchos de ellos insinúan que smc adquiere rtnl en la creación de netns sin una buena razón [1] Este parche regresa temprano desde smc_pnet_net_init() si aún no hay un netdevice. Ni siquiera estoy seguro de por qué existe smc_pnet_create_pnetids_list(), porque smc_pnet_netdev_event() también llama a smc_pnet_add_base_pnetid() cuando maneja el evento NETDEV_UP.
