Description

A flaw was found in the smb/server component of the Linux kernel. A session leak in the ksmbd_session_register() function occurs when a session fails to be stored, leading to its reference count not being properly decremented. This can result in resource exhaustion, potentially allowing a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by depleting available system resources.
