No local access is required.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: one connection holds the level-II oplock and simply withholds the SMB2_OPLOCK_BREAK ack, pinning the RCU-unlocked window open for up to OPLOCK_WAIT_TIME (35 s), while other connections close handles on the same inode to drive opinfo_del()/opinfo_put(). An attacker-created race with a multi-second window is reliably winnable and repeatable.\nPR:L - All call sites dereference work->tcon->share_conf, so a completed SESSION_SETUP and TREE_CONNECT are needed \u2014 any unprivileged share account (including guest where \"map to guest\" is configured) suffices, with no administrative rights. This matches the sibling post-authentication ksmbd UAFs.\nUI:N - The attacker drives every step from its own SMB connections \u2014 taking the oplock, stalling the break ack, and closing handles concurrently. No action by an administrator or any other client is needed.\nS:U - The freed object and the resulting corruption are both inside the kernel's own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The ~176-byte oplock_info lives in the general kmalloc-192 cache and is remotely sprayable, so the freed object can be reclaimed with attacker-controlled bytes at the op_entry.next offset, yielding a chosen brk_op whose ->conn and ->o_lease->state dereferences give arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - With a controlled brk_op pointer, atomic_inc_not_zero(&brk_op->refcount) is an arbitrary-address increment write, and oplock_break() then manipulates wait-queue lists and queues work off the fake object \u2014 a use-after-free that is exploitable for control-flow hijack and arbitrary kernel code execution.\nA:H - Even unweaponized, following op_entry.next out of a freed oplock_info dereferences freed/poisoned memory and reliably oopses or panics the kernel, and the attacker can repeat the sequence to keep the SMB server down."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/smb/server/oplock.c", "fs/smb/server/oplock.h"], "versions": [{"version": "0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf", "lessThan": "296cb5457cc6f4a754c4ae29855f8a253d52bcc6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf", "lessThan": "d54ab1520d43e95f9b2e22d7a05fc9614192e5a5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf", "lessThan": "d73686367ad68534257cd88a36ca3c52cb8b81d8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf", "lessThan": "18b4fac5ef17f77fed9417d22210ceafd6525fc7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/smb/server/oplock.c", "fs/smb/server/oplock.h"], "versions": [{"version": "5.15", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "5.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.88", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.25", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.14.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.14.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.15", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.88"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.25"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.14.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.15"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/296cb5457cc6f4a754c4ae29855f8a253d52bcc6"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d54ab1520d43e95f9b2e22d7a05fc9614192e5a5"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d73686367ad68534257cd88a36ca3c52cb8b81d8"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/18b4fac5ef17f77fed9417d22210ceafd6525fc7"}], "title": "ksmbd: fix use-after-free in smb_break_all_levII_oplock()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
