A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB) over Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) protocol, specifically within the net/smc component. An error path in the smc_switch_conns() function, triggered during link failover events, can lead to a socket reference count leak. This prevents the affected socket from being properly destroyed, causing its associated send and receive buffers to remain allocated. Consequently, the network namespace cannot be fully released, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) due to resource exhaustion.
kernel: net/smc: fix socket refcount leak in smc_switch_conns() — rated Low by Red Hat. Released 2026-09-11, updated 2026-09-14.
