Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2021-47536 (Linux). CVSS 9.8 → 7.8 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix wrong list_del in smc_lgr_cleanup_early
smc_lgr_cleanup_early() meant to delete the link
group from the link group list, but it deleted
the list head by mistake.
This may cause memory corruption since we didn't
remove the real link group from the list and later
memseted the link group structure.
We got a list corruption panic when testing:
