Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a use-after-free (UAF) problem in the
ksmbd tcp new connection() function. This function is part of the Linux kernel's implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. The vulnerability arises from a race condition between the handling of new TCP connections and their disconnection, leading to the use of memory after it has been freed. This can potentially allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The estimated number of potentially affected devices and details about real-world incidents are not provided.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
