Summary
CVE-2026-74719 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1
Details

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

net/smc: fix qentry overwrite for CONFIRMLINK and ADDLINKCONT in smcllceventhandler()

The SMCLLCCONFIRMLINK / SMCLLCADDLINKCONT branch in smcllceventhandler() stores an incoming qentry into the local LLC flow without first checking whether a qentry is already pending. If a malicious or buggy peer sends a second CONFIRMLINK or ADDLINKCONT request while a flow is active and flow->qentry is already set, smcllcflowqentry_set() overwrites the pointer without freeing the previous allocation, leaking one kmalloc-96 object per spurious message.

The sibling SMCLLCDELETELINK branch already has the correct !flow->qentry guard. Apply the same guard to the CONFIRMLINK/ADDLINKCONT branch so that a duplicate message when qentry is already occupied falls through to break and is freed by the kfree(qentry) at the out: label, rather than silently leaking the existing allocation.

The response direction (smcllcrx_response()) is unaffected: it already guards with flow->qentry at the equivalent site and drops duplicate responses correctly.
