CVE-2024-56640

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/smc: fix LGR and link use-after-free issue

We encountered a LGR/link use-after-free issue, which manifested as
the LGR/link refcnt reaching 0 early and entering the clear process,
making resource access unsafe.

 refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

It is caused by repeated release of LGR/link refcnt. One suspect is that
smc_conn_free() is called repeatedly because some smc_conn_free() from
server listening path are not protected by sock lock.

e.g.

Calls under socklock        | smc_listen_work
-------------------------------------------------------
lock_sock(sk)               | smc_conn_abort
smc_conn_free               | \- smc_conn_free
\- smcr_link_put            |    \- smcr_link_put (duplicated)
release_sock(sk)

So here add sock lock protection in smc_listen_work() path, making it
exclusive with other connection operations.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
