Title
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in smb2_open during durable reconnect
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free in smb2_open during durable reconnect In smb2_open, the call to ksmbd_put_durable_fd(fp) drops the reference to the durable file descriptor early during the durable reconnect process. If an error occurs subsequently (eg, ksmbd_iov_pin_rsp fails) or a scavenger accesses the file, it leads to a use-after-free when accessing fp properties (eg fp->create_time). Move the single put to the end of the function below err_out2 so fp stays valid until smb2_open returns.

The durable reconnect path is therefore remotely reachable over the network.\nAC:L - An attacker can drive the required SMB sequence by creating a durable handle, disconnecting, and sending a durable reconnect request with controlled create contexts. The bug is a use-after-free/lifetime error in the request path, not a race depending on conditions outside the attacker\u0027s control.\nPR:N - Although SMB2_CREATE requires a valid session and tree connect, ksmbd supports guest/anonymous users and guest shares, so a reasonable guest-enabled deployment lets an unauthenticated network client satisfy those gates. Scoring uses that highest reasonable exposure.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required once ksmbd is listening and the share is available. The attacker sends SMB protocol messages directly.\nS:U - The vulnerability is in the kernel SMB server and impacts the same kernel/server security authority. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other separate security scope boundary.\nC:H - The bug is a use-after-free of struct ksmbd_file, which contains kernel pointers, file state, IDs, GUIDs, and list links. Kernel UAF memory corruption can be leveraged for information disclosure, so confidentiality impact is high.\nI:H - Use-after-free in kernel heap objects can be exploited through heap shaping and stale pointer reuse to corrupt kernel state or hijack control flow. Integrity impact is therefore high.\nA:H - The stale ksmbd_file can be dereferenced or closed after free on reconnect/error/scavenger paths, which can crash or destabilize the kernel. Availability impact is high."
