In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix NULL-deref of opinfo->conn in oplock/lease break notifiers
smb2 oplock break noti() and smb2 lease break noti() read opinfo->conn into a local with neither READ ONCE() nor a NULL check. Both run from oplock break() after opinfo get list() has dropped ci->m lock, so a concurrent SMB2 LOGOFF (session fd check()) can set op->conn = NULL under ci->m lock within that window. ksmbd conn r count inc(conn) then writes through NULL at offset 0xc4 -- a remotely triggerable oops.
Guard both reads the way compare guid key() already does: read opinfo->conn with READ ONCE() and return early if it is NULL, before allocating the work struct so nothing leaks. A NULL conn means the client is gone and the break is moot, so return 0; oplock break() treats that as success and runs the normal teardown.
