Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd (kernel Server Message Block daemon) component. Concurrent directory query requests using the same file handle can lead to a stack use-after-free vulnerability. This occurs because smb2_query_dir() stores a pointer to stack-allocated data that can be overwritten by another request while still in use. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
