CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: fix use-after-free in smb_lazy_parent_lease_break_close()

opinfo pointer obtained via rcu_dereference(fp->f_opinfo) is being
accessed after rcu_read_unlock() has been called. This creates a
race condition where the memory could be freed by a concurrent
writer between the unlock and the subsequent pointer dereferences
(opinfo->is_lease, etc.), leading to a use-after-free.
