CVE-2024-50034 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/smc: fix lacks of icsk_syn_mss with IPPROTO_SMC

Eric report a panic on IPPROTO_SMC and give the facts that when INET_PROTOSW_ICSK was set icsk->icsk_sync_mss must be set too.

This patch add a toy implementation that performs a simple return to prevent such panic. This is because MSS can be set in sock_create_kern or smc_setsockopt similar to how it’s done in AF_SMC. However for AF_SMC there is currently no way to synchronize MSS within __sys_connect_file. This toy implementation lays the groundwork for us to support such feature for IPPROTO_SMC in the future.
