CVE-2021-47143: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: remove device from smcd_dev_list after failed device_add() If the device_add() for a smcd_dev fails, there's no cleanup step that rolls back the earlier list_add(). The device subsequently gets freed, and we end up with a corrupted list. Add some error handling that removes the device from the list.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 4.19, before 5.10.42 (fixed in 5.10.42); from 5.11, before 5.12.9 (fixed in 5.12.9); version 5.13 only
