In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in in smc_clc_prfx_set().
smc_clc_prfx_set() is called during connect() and not under RCU nor RTNL.
Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF.
Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dev_dst_rcu() under rcu_read_lock() after kernel_getsockname().
Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_set() is not used in the caller.
While at it, we change the 1st arg of smc_clc_prfx_set[46]_rcu() not to touch dst there.
