"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsmb: client: resolve SWN tcon from live registrations\n\ncifs_swn_notify() looks up a witness registration by id under\ncifs_swnreg_idr_mutex, drops the mutex, and then uses the registration's\ncached tcon pointer. That pointer is not a lifetime reference, and it is\nnot a stable representative once cifs_get_swn_reg() lets multiple tcons\nfor the same net/share name share one registration id.\n\nA same-share second mount can keep the cifs_swn_reg alive after the first\ntcon unregisters and is freed. The registration then still points at the\nfreed first tcon, so taking tc_lock or incrementing tc_count through\nswnreg->tcon only moves the use-after-free earlier. Taking tc_lock while\nholding cifs_swnreg_idr_mutex also violates the documented CIFS lock\norder.\n\nFix this by making the registration store only the stable witness\nidentity: id, net name, share name, and notify flags. When a notify\narrives, copy that identity under cifs_swnreg_idr_mutex, drop the mutex,\nthen find and pin a live witness tcon that currently matches the net/share\npair under the normal cifs_tcp_ses_lock -> tc_lock order. The notification\npath uses that pinned tcon directly and drops the reference when done.\n\nRegistration and unregister messages now use the live tcon passed by the\ncaller instead of a cached tcon in the registration. The final unregister\nsend is folded into cifs_swn_unregister() while the registration is still\nprotected by cifs_swnreg_idr_mutex. This removes the previous\nfind/drop/reacquire raw-pointer window. The release path only removes the\nidr entry and frees the stable identity strings.\n\nThis preserves the intended one-registration/many-tcon behavior: a\nregistration id represents a net/share pair, and notify handling acts on a\nlive representative selected at use time. It also preserves CLIENT_MOVE\nordering for the representative tcon because the old-IP unregister is sent\nbefore cifs_swn_register() sends the new-IP register."

User namespaces do not grant CIFS mount authority, but no mount privilege is needed once normal mount turnover creates the stale registration.\nUI:N - Once a witness-enabled registration exists, exploitation requires no further victim action; the attacker can invoke the local trigger directly.\nS:U - Successful exploitation compromises the host kernel within the same security authority and does not inherently cross a VM, IOMMU, or other scope boundary.\nC:H - The heap UAF involves attacker-reclaimable cifs_tcon and cifs_swn_reg objects whose pointer chains reach session credentials and arbitrary kernel memory, enabling high-impact disclosure primitives.\nI:H - Reclaiming the freed objects can redirect client-move and reconnect operations through attacker-influenced pointers, providing arbitrary-write and control-flow-hijacking potential.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed tcon or registration can cause an immediate kernel oops or panic, and the periodic echo worker can repeatedly exercise the stale pointer."
