Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: delete compound mids on send failure before unlock
When sending a compound request fails, smb_send_rqst() kicks off a
reconnect. compound_send_recv() still has those mids on pending_mid_q,
but it unlocks the server without removing them first.
During reconnect, cifs_abort_connection() walks pending_mid_q and runs
each mid callback. With no response yet, those callbacks return credits
and drop in_flight. Then compound_send_recv()'s send-error path returns
the same credits again. in_flight ends up decremented twice and
smb2_add_credits() WARNs.
syzbot hits this during SMB2_negotiate when the socket send fails.
cifs_call_async() already calls delete_mid() before unlock on send
failure. Do the same for compound chains and set cancelled_mid[] so the
out: path does not delete them again.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SMB (Server Message Block) client. This issue may allow a remote attacker or malicious server to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by inducing network transmission failures during compound request processing. Because the client releases its connection lock without first clearing pending requests from the queue upon a send failure, a subsequent reconnection attempt improperly accounts for tracking credits twice. This error leads to internal state corruption, kernel warnings, and potential system instability.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as having a Moderate impact for Red Hat Enterprise Linux because exploitation requires a client system to establish an SMB connection to an external or untrusted server where transmission errors can occur. In standard Red Hat deployments, CIFS/SMB client functionality is not enabled or mounted by default, limiting exposure to systems configured to mount remote file shares. Triggering this condition results in kernel credit accounting errors and denial of service, but does not allow privilege escalation or unauthorized data exposure.
