CVE-2026-23427
Publication date:
03/04/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in durable v2 replay of active file handles<br />
<br />
parse_durable_handle_context() unconditionally assigns dh_info->fp->conn<br />
to the current connection when handling a DURABLE_REQ_V2 context with<br />
SMB2_FLAGS_REPLAY_OPERATION. ksmbd_lookup_fd_cguid() does not filter by<br />
fp->conn, so it returns file handles that are already actively connected.<br />
The unconditional overwrite replaces fp->conn, and when the overwriting<br />
connection is subsequently freed, __ksmbd_close_fd() dereferences the<br />
stale fp->conn via spin_lock(&fp->conn->llist_lock), causing a<br />
use-after-free.<br />
<br />
