Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in compare_guid_key()
session_fd_check() walks the per-inode m_op_list during durable-handle
session teardown and sets op->conn = NULL for every opinfo whose conn
matched the closing session's connection. The matching opinfo, however,
stays linked in its per-ClientGuid lease_table_list entry's lb->lease_list
because destroy_lease_table() only runs on full TCP-connection teardown,
not on SESSION_LOGOFF.
If the same TCP connection then negotiates a fresh session with the
same ClientGuid (ClientGuid is bound to NEGOTIATE, not the session, and
is unchanged across LOGOFF + SETUP) and issues a SMB2 CREATE with a
lease context on a different inode, find_same_lease_key() walks
lb->lease_list, reaches the stale opinfo, and calls compare_guid_key(),
which unconditionally dereferences opinfo->conn->ClientGUID. The conn
pointer is NULL and the kernel panics.
