CVE-2025-40328
Linux Kernel 6.1.0-6.6.116, 6.7.0-6.12.57, 6.13.0-6.17.7 - Use-After-Free in SMB Client Cached Directory Handling
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix potential UAF in smb2_close_cached_fid() find_or_create_cached_dir() could grab a new reference after kref_put() had seen the refcount drop to zero but before cfid_list_lock is acquired in smb2_close_cached_fid(), leading to use-after-free. Switch to kref_put_lock() so cfid_release() is called with cfid_list_lock held, closing that gap.
