A malicious or compromised server, or an on-path attacker injecting into the stream, delivers the trigger entirely as network data.\\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race \\u2014 it forces session teardown (session-expired/user-session-deleted status codes, TCP reset driving reconnect, DFS IPC churn) and then floods lease-break notifications \\u2014 and it can stall the SMB2 LOGOFF reply so the session lingers in SES_EXITING on `smb_ses_list` for the entire request timeout, making the window arbitrarily wide and repeatable.\\nPR:N - Unsolicited oplock/lease-break frames bypass `smb2_verify_signature()` entirely and the handler ignores SessionId/TreeId, matching only on the attacker-supplied LeaseKey, so no credentials on the client and no authenticated SMB session are needed to reach the vulnerable traversal.\\nUI:N - In the realistic deployment \\u2014 a persistent cifs mount from fstab, autofs, or a container volume \\u2014 the connection already exists, and the compromised server or on-path injector triggers the code path with no action from any local user.\\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap memory belonging to the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\\nC:H - Walking a torn-down session\u0027s `tcon_list` and `pending_opens` dereferences freed slab objects whose contents the attacker can groom via heap spraying, turning `tcon-\u003ecfids`, `open-\u003etlink`, and `open-\u003elease_key` into attacker-influenced pointers that yield a kernel memory read primitive.\\nI:H - The path writes into the freed memory \\u2014 `spin_lock(\u0026tcon-\u003eopen_file_lock)`, `cifs_stats_inc()` counter increments, and `cifs_get_tlink()` refcount bumps \\u2014 and later frees/queues work (`queue_work(cifsiod_wq, \u0026cfid-\u003elease_break)`) through sprayed pointers, giving heap corruption and control-flow hijacking potential.\\nA:H - Dereferencing freed `cifs_ses`/`cifs_tcon` state from the demultiplex kernel thread readily produces an oops or panic, and because the trigger is a repeatable unauthenticated network frame the attacker can crash the client at will.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"7f48558e6489d032b1584b0cc9ac4bb11072c034\", \"lessThan\": \"c868cabdf6fdd61bea54532271f4708254e57fc5\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"7f48558e6489d032b1584b0cc9ac4bb11072c034\", \"lessThan\": \"f92739fdd4522c4291277136399353d7c341fae4\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"7f48558e6489d032b1584b0cc9ac4bb11072c034\", \"lessThan\": \"a8344e2b69bde63f713b0aa796d70dbeadffddfb\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"7f48558e6489d032b1584b0cc9ac4bb11072c034\", \"lessThan\": \"705c76fbf726c7a2f6ff9143d4013b18daaaebf1\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"a67172a013953664b1dad03c648200c70b90506c\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"3.12.48\", \"lessThan\": \"3.13\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"fs/smb/client/smb2misc.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"3.13\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"3.13\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.1.85\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.26\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.8.5\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.8.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.9\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"fs/smb/client/smb2misc.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c868cabdf6fdd61bea54532271f4708254e57fc5\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f92739fdd4522c4291277136399353d7c341fae4\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a8344e2b69bde63f713b0aa796d70dbeadffddfb\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/705c76fbf726c7a2f6ff9143d4013b18daaaebf1\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nsmb: client: fix potential UAF in smb2_is_valid_lease_break()\\n\\nSkip sessions that are being teared down (status == SES_EXITING) to\\navoid UAF.\"}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.1.85\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"3.13\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.6.26\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"3.13\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.8.5\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"3.13\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.9\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"3.13\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionStartIncluding\": \"3.12.48\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\", \"shortName\": \"Linux\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-08-05T11:30:28.316Z\"}}}",
