Title
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in smb_lazy_parent_lease_break_close()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free in smb_lazy_parent_lease_break_close() opinfo pointer obtained via rcu_dereference(fp->f_opinfo) is being accessed after rcu_read_unlock() has been called. This creates a race condition where the memory could be freed by a concurrent writer between the unlock and the subsequent pointer dereferences (opinfo->is_lease, etc.), leading to a use-after-free.

The race is attacker-influenced and repeatable, so no external uncontrollable condition is required.\nPR:N - The path is post-session/tree-connect, but ksmbd supports guest/anonymous sessions and guest-access shares; in that reasonable deployment no prior credentials are needed. Under the required higher-severity rule, this is scored as no privileges required.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required after the ksmbd service and share are available; the attacker sends SMB requests directly.\nS:U - The vulnerable component and impacted resources are the same kernel/ksmbd security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-scope boundary violation.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free of `oplock_info`/lease state after dropping the RCU read lock. Freed kernel objects may be reclaimed and shaped through repeated SMB activity, making high confidentiality impact defensible.\nI:H - Use-after-free in kernel heap objects can be leveraged beyond a crash through object reuse and control-flow or data-structure corruption. Following the required UAF guidance, integrity impact is high.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, dereferencing freed `oplock_info` or `o_lease` memory can cause a kernel oops or panic. The vulnerable path is remotely triggerable and repeatable, so availability impact is high."
