linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in proc_show_files()
When a SMB2 client opens a file with a durable v2 handle and then issues
SMB2 SESSION_LOGOFF, session_fd_check() clears fp->tcon = NULL on the
reconnectable file pointer but leaves the fp registered in global_ft.idr
until the durable scavenger fires (up to fp->durable_timeout seconds
later).
During that window any read of /proc/fs/ksmbd/files (mode 0400) panics
the kernel because proc_show_files() walks global_ft.idr and
unconditionally dereferences fp->tcon->id with no NULL guard.
Reproducer requires only a successful SMB2 SESSION_SETUP and a share
configured with 'durable handles = yes'. KASAN report on mainline
70390501d194:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
