the trigger is repeatable and does not depend on conditions outside attacker influence.\nPR:N - The attacker is the remote SMB Direct peer/server and does not need privileges on the vulnerable client system or authenticated local access.\nUI:N - In a reasonable deployment with an existing or automatically established SMB Direct mount, the remote peer can trigger the bug through protocol traffic and disconnect timing without further user action.\nS:U - The corruption occurs in the client kernel and impacts the same operating-system security authority, with no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossing identified.\nC:H - This is a kernel heap double-free of an SMB Direct send object; as memory corruption, it can plausibly be shaped into use-after-free behavior and kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The double-free corrupts kernel allocator state for objects used in RDMA send handling and can plausibly be leveraged for arbitrary kernel memory modification or code execution.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, the double-free can trigger allocator corruption, warnings, oops, panic, or connection teardown, causing high availability impact." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/smb/client/smbdirect.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "cca0526ef2344cab6944d7f441fc24e152da031b", "lessThan": "a9940dcbe5cb92482c04efc7341039ddf7dbf607", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "37b5c06956183b65e6808b509cf637632016cdf7", "lessThan": "22b7c1c619d808aec4cad3dc42103345e370d107", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "21538121efe6c8c5b51c742fa02cbe820bc48714", "lessThan": "f9a162c2bbcd0ac85bd07c5b37cf20286048b65c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "21538121efe6c8c5b51c742fa02cbe820bc48714", "lessThan": "27b7c3e916218b5eb2ee350211140e961bfc49be", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "6.18.11", "lessThan": "6.18.24", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.1", "lessThan": "6.19.14", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/smb/client/smbdirect.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "7.0", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "7.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.24", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.14", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0.1", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.0.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1", "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": "6.18.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.24" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.14" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0.1" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a9940dcbe5cb92482c04efc7341039ddf7dbf607" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/22b7c1c619d808aec4cad3dc42103345e370d107" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f9a162c2bbcd0ac85bd07c5b37cf20286048b65c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/27b7c3e916218b5eb2ee350211140e961bfc49be" } ], "title": "smb: client: avoid double-free in smbd_free_send_io() after smbd_send_batch_flush()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2026-31609", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "yes" }, { "Technical Impact": "total" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T15:11:13.445840Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-16T15:20:16.904Z" } } ] } }
