Description

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

ksmbd: fix potential use-after-free in oplock/lease break ack

If ksmbd_iov_pin_rsp return error, use-after-free can happen by accessing opinfo->state and opinfo_put and ksmbd_fd_put could called twice.

Statement

This flaw does not impact Red Hat Enterprise Linux because the in-kernel SMB server (ksmbd) is not enabled or shipped in Red Hat kernels. Supported Red Hat enterprise deployments use user-space Samba implementations for SMB network sharing rather than the kernel server implementation. Consequently, Red Hat kernel packages lack the vulnerable code path and remain unaffected.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
