Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free by using call_rcu() for oplock_info ksmbd currently frees oplock_info immediately using kfree(), even though it is accessed under RCU read-side critical sections in places like opinfo_get() and proc_show_files(). Since there is no RCU grace period delay between nullifying the pointer and freeing the memory, a reader can still access oplock_info structure after it has been freed. This can leads to a use-after-free especially in opinfo_get() where atomic_inc_not_zero() is called on already freed memory. Fix this by switching to deferred freeing using call_rcu().

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 6.6.88 < 6.6.130) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.12.25 < 6.12.78) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.14.4 < 6.15) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.15.1 < 6.18.19) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.9) • linux linux kernel 6.15 • linux linux kernel 7.0
