CVE-2026-97557

Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: avoid leaking refcount in cifs_queue_oplock_break() cifs_queue_oplock_break() unconditionally takes a reference on the target file before queueing cifs_oplock_break(). Only that work item decreases the reference counter again. If another oplock break arrives while that work is still queued, queue_work() will return false and not queue this second work item. As a result, we will never reach the point to drop the file reference again and are leaking this reference. This can be triggered when interacting with a slow-responding server. As a result, later unmount operations for this file system will fail with BUG: Dentry ... still in use (1) [unmount of cifs cifs] VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs (cifs) kernel BUG at fs/super.c:777! Fix this by only incrementing the reference count if the work has been queued successfully. Taking it after queue_work() is safe because all three callers hold tcon->open_file_lock across the call and _cifsFileInfo_put() decrements under that same lock, so a worker that starts the handler in the window cannot drop the reference before it has been taken.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block (SMB) client. This flaw allows a remote or slow-responding SMB server to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) through a kernel crash. When handling opportunistic lock (oplock) break requests, the client can leak file reference counters if a new notification arrives while earlier work is still queued. This leaked reference leaves file system structures marked as in use, causing the kernel to crash when unmounting the file system.
