{"cve":"CVE-2026-64396","nvd":{"published":"2026-07-25T10:17:23.040","modified":"2026-09-04T14:47:23.990","status":"Analyzed","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nksmbd: fix UAF of struct file_lock in SMB2_LOCK deferred-lock cancellation\n\nWhen a blocking byte-range lock request is deferred in the\nFILE_LOCK_DEFERRED path, ksmbd registers the asynchronous work into\nthe connection's async_requests list via setup_async_work(). The cancel\ncallback smb2_remove_blocked_lock() holds a reference to the flock.\n\nIf the lock waiter is subsequently woken up but the work state is no\nlonger KSMBD_WORK_ACTIVE (e.g., due to a concurrent cancellation), the\ncleanup path calls locks_free_lock(flock) without dequeuing the work from\nthe async_requests list. Concurrently, smb2_cancel() walks the list\nunder conn->request_lock and invokes the cancel callback, which then\ndereferences the already freed 'flock'. This leads to a slab-use-after-free\ninside __wake_up_common.\n\nFix this by restructuring the cleanup logic after the worker returns\nfrom ksmbd_vfs_posix_lock_wait(). Move list_del(&smb_lock->llist) and\nrelease_async_work(work) to the top of the cleanup block. This guarantees\nthat the async work is completely dequeued and serialized under\nconn->request_lock before locks_free_lock(flock) is called, rendering\nthe flock unreachable for any concurrent smb2_cancel().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/367c42a611fe488b7b03f1f6737f4dee0e8b20a2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/463bbd79698513af4dad50fe1c573825f297ca2e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5aa1cb01155f96824003baf7997cdf1f150caba3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5c75275c0fc9a2deb0d8f5604edcb16f288171c8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7703fd9aba1f2483c8e55f9ff73b7663e0761ed9"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:46:40.600842820+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64396","score":0.00435,"percentile":0.378,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
