| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: safely discard unregistered deferred locks When vfs_lock_file() defers a lock, smb2_lock() puts its ksmbd_lock on rollback_list before allocating and registering the asynchronous work. If either operation fails, rollback assumes that smb_lock->conn is initialized and dereferences NULL. The deferred file_lock also remains linked into the VFS blocked-lock state while it is freed. Keep the lock off rollback_list until async setup succeeds. On setup failures, explicitly unblock and wake the deferred lock before freeing it and its ksmbd wrapper. |
