In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix memory leaks and NULL deref in smb2_lock() smb2_lock() has three error handling issues after list_del() detaches smb_lock from lock_list at no_check_cl:
- If vfs_lock_file() returns an unexpected error in the non-UNLOCK path, goto out leaks smb_lock and its flock because the out: handler only iterates lock_list and rollback_list, neither of which contains the detached smb_lock.
- If vfs_lock_file() returns -ENOENT in the UNLOCK path, goto out leaks smb_lock and flock for the same reason. The error code returned to the dispatcher is also stale.
- In the rollback path, smb_flock_init() can return NULL on
allocation failure. The result is dereferenced unconditionally,
causing a kernel NULL pointer dereference. Add a NULL check to
prevent the crash and clean up the bookkeeping; the VFS lock
itself cannot be rolled back without the allocation and will be
released at file or connection teardown.
Fix cases 1 and 2 by hoisting the locks_free_lock()/kfree() to before
the if(!rc) check in the UNLOCK branch so all exit paths share one
free site, and by freeing smb_lock and flock before goto out in the
non-UNLOCK branch. Propagate the correct error code in both cases.
Fix case 3 by wrapping the VFS unlock in an if(rlock) guard and adding
a NULL check for locks_free_lock(rlock) in the shared cleanup.
Found via call-graph analysis using sqry.
A flaw was found in ksmbd in the Linux kernel. Error handling issues within thesmb2_lock()function can lead to memory leaks. Additionally, an allocation failure insmb_flock_init()can result in a NULL pointer dereference, causing the kernel to crash. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by triggering these error conditions.
