DescriptionCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: serialize QUERY_DIRECTORY requests per file

smb2_query_dir() stores a pointer to its stack-allocated private data in the ksmbd_file readdir_data. Concurrent QUERY_DIRECTORY requests using the same file handle can overwrite this pointer while an iterate_dir() callback is still using it, resulting in a stack use-after-free.

Add a per-file mutex and hold it while accessing the shared directory enumeration state. The lock covers scan restart, dot entry state, readdir_data setup and iteration, and response construction. This prevents another request from replacing readdir_data.private before the current request has finished using it and also serializes the shared file position.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ksmbd SMB server allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. All kernel versions with ksmbd enabled from early commits up to the patched releases are affected, and the issue can be triggered by concurrent QUERY_DIRECTORY requests on the same file handle. A fix is available via multiple stable kernel branches, no active exploitation is reported in KEV, and EPSS indicates a low probability of widespread exploitation (0.21%).
