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."

Taxonomy of the tags.




Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Author Source Type Date Other

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
