Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix double-free in SMB2_close() replay
A response-bearing attempt can return a replayable error and free its
response buffer. If SMB2_close_init() fails before the next send, cleanup
retains the previous buffer type and frees that response again.
Reset response bookkeeping before each attempt to prevent the stale free.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block (SMB) client. A vulnerability exists in the SMB2_close() replay mechanism where a response buffer can be freed twice. This double-free condition can lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. Exploitation requires the victim system to connect to a malicious or compromised SMB server.
Меры по смягчению последствий
If SMB/CIFS client functionality is not required, the 'cifs' kernel module can be blocklisted to prevent it from loading. Systems that do not mount SMB/CIFS shares are not affected. For systems that require SMB client access, ensure connections are only made to trusted SMB servers.
