Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in smc_clc_prfx_match(). smc_clc_prfx_match() is called from smc_listen_work() and not under RCU nor RTNL. Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF. Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu(). Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_match() is not used in the caller.
