CVE-2026-64140: ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in proc_show_files()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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
  0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI
  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
  RIP: 0010:proc_show_files+0x118/0x740
  Call Trace:

   seq_read_iter+0x4ef/0xe10
   proc_reg_read_iter+0x1b7/0x280
   ...

Guard the dereference. A durable-disconnected fp legitimately has no
tcon; report its tree id as 0 rather than oopsing.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64140 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8eab081627b67216d1c8f638b68289b500dc9a6b
