In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: Log an error when close_all_cached_dirs fails Under low-memory conditions, close_all_cached_dirs() can't move the dentries to a separate list to dput() them once the locks are dropped.

Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity because triggering the issue requires severe memory exhaustion during the unmounting of an active CIFS/SMB filesystem share, resulting in a denial of service. Systems that do not mount remote SMB network shares remain unaffected. In typical enterprise deployments, mounting and unmounting network shares requires administrative privileges, which substantially restricts potential exposure.
