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 — 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 — 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 — 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" } } } }
