"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsmb: client: use finish_no_open() for non-regular inodes\n\nAn O_CREAT open can find an existing symlink or another non-regular\ninode. cifs_atomic_open() calls finish_open() on it and attaches a\ncifsFileInfo. Symlink inodes have no CIFS release operation, so the\ndentry reference held by cifsFileInfo is leaked. FMODE_OPENED also\nprevents the VFS from following the symlink.\n\nTrack whether cifs_do_create() returned an open server handle. For\nnon-regular inodes, close the handle if present, remove the pending\nopen, and call finish_no_open() so the VFS can continue the lookup.\nDo not set FMODE_CREATED unless a regular file was opened. For\nO_NOFOLLOW with __O_REGULAR, return -ELOOP before the VFS's\n-EFTYPE check.\n\nDefer closing a legacy POSIX handle on a non-regular inode until\nafter inode lookup. This avoids closing it again if lookup fails."

"value": "AV:N - `openat(O_CREAT)` reaches `cifs_atomic_open()` and `cifs_do_create()`; a remote SMB2 server can return a CREATE/reparse response identifying the object as `IO_REPARSE_TAG_LX_FIFO`, so the causative inode type arrives over routable SMB.\nAC:L - The server can return a FIFO for any fresh, uncached requested name; after the victim's O_CREAT, `finish_open()` and `cifs_new_fileinfo()` deterministically create the type confusion without a race or an uncontrollable precondition.\nPR:N - A malicious SMB endpoint needs no account or capability on the client; the SMB session authenticates the victim outward to the server, which directly controls the CREATE and reparse responses.\nUI:R - The remote server cannot initiate `cifs_atomic_open()` itself; a victim must mount or access its share and issue an O_CREAT open, after which the server can substitute the non-regular inode response.\nS:U - The confused `cifsFileInfo` and resulting pipe operations execute within the vulnerable client's kernel security authority and do not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other security boundary.\nC:H - `cifs_set_ops()` installs `pipefifo_fops`, but `finish_open(..., generic_file_open)` skips `fifo_open()` and `cifs_new_fileinfo()` puts a `cifsFileInfo` in `private_data`; `fifo_pipe_read()` then treats its fields as pipe buffers and pages, creating disclosure-capable type confusion.\nI:H - `pipe_release()` and `pipe_resize_ring()` treat the `cifsFileInfo` as `pipe_inode_info`, modifying fake mutex, counter, waitqueue, and buffer-pointer fields and potentially freeing the misinterpreted `pipe->bufs`, providing kernel-memory corruption primitives.\nA:H - Closing the returned FIFO fd invokes `pipe_release()` on the `cifsFileInfo`; locking its list pointers as a pipe mutex and accessing fake pipe state can immediately oops or hang the kernel, beyond the separate symlink reference leak."
