In the Linux kernel, CVE-2026-31507 exposes a deceptively small-looking bug with outsized consequences: a double-free of smc_spd_priv when tee() duplicates an SMC splice pipe buffer. The flaw sits in net/smc, where smc_rx_splice() allocates one private object per pipe_buffer and stores it in...

The Linux kernel’s SMC networking stack is back in the security spotlight with CVE-2026-31507, a flaw that can turn a seemingly ordinary tee operation into a double-free and, in practice, a kernel crash. The bug sits in the splice-based receive path, where SMC’s smc_rx_splice attaches private...

The Linux kernel received a targeted fix addressing a race-related use‑after‑free in the SMC (Shared Memory Communications) networking code: smc_clc_prfx_set now uses __sk_dst_get and dst_dev_rcu under an RCU read‑lock to prevent dereferencing a freed device pointer when the function runs...

A recently disclosed Linux-kernel flaw tracked as CVE-2025-40064 fixes a use-after-free in the SMC networking code — and Microsoft’s MSRC advisory has drawn attention by explicitly saying that Azure Linux “includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected.” That statement...
