"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsmb: client: Avoid race in open_cached_dir with lease breaks\n\nA pre-existing valid cfid returned from find_or_create_cached_dir might\nrace with a lease break, meaning open_cached_dir doesn't consider it\nvalid, and thinks it's newly-constructed. This leaks a dentry reference\nif the allocation occurs before the queued lease break work runs.\n\nAvoid the race by extending holding the cfid_list_lock across\nfind_or_create_cached_dir and when the result is checked."

"scenarios": [
{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:N - The race is driven by an unsolicited SMB2 lease-break packet from the remote server, dispatched straight from the cifs demultiplex thread into cached_dir_lease_break() (fs/smb/client/smb2misc.c:655) with no pending request. A malicious/compromised SMB server, or an off-path attacker injecting frames on an unsigned SMB connection, controls exactly when that half of the race fires.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides — the server chooses when and how often to send lease breaks (unlimited retries, one per re-cached directory), while the client's routine stat()/getdents() traffic, which the server can itself provoke by breaking leases to force re-opens, repeatedly traverses the unlocked window. The same class of race in this file was reproduced by its author with two ordinary shell loops.\nPR:N - The attacking SMB server holds no privileges or credentials on the victim client; it merely answers a share the client has already mounted. The local half needs nothing beyond stat() or readdir() on the mount, available to any unprivileged account with no capabilities.\nUI:N - The mount is a pre-existing configuration, not an exploit-time action, and no deliberate victim participation is needed — ordinary background directory access from any process supplies the local half, and the server can force re-opens on demand by breaking the lease.\nS:U - The leaked dentry/inode references, corrupted superblock teardown and crash are all confined to the client kernel's own security authority. No VM, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - The defect is a lost reference count; no memory is read out of bounds and no kernel data is copied to the attacker. The only pointer surfaced is in a WARN message, which is %p-hashed and requires dmesg access.\nI:N - The attacker gains no write primitive — nothing attacker-controlled is stored anywhere, and the cfid kref accounting remains balanced in every interleaving I traced, so no double-free or type confusion is reachable.\nA:H - Each won race permanently leaks a dentry, its inode and an open server handle, and the affected mount can never be torn down: unmount hits WARN(1, \"BUG: Dentry ... still in use\") in umount_check() and then \"VFS: Busy inodes after unmount\", which is a hard BUG()/oops under CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION and a panic under panic_on_warn. Otherwise the superblock is freed with live VFS_PTR_POISON'd inodes that crash on any later access, on top of unbounded, unreclaimable memory growth."
