Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: fix use-after-free and NULL deref in smb_grant_oplock()
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 13:05:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317130554.2609496-1-werner@verivus.com> (raw)
smb_grant_oplock() has two issues in the oplock publication sequence:
1) opinfo is linked into ci->m_op_list (via opinfo_add) before
add_lease_global_list() is called. If add_lease_global_list()
fails (kmalloc returns NULL), the error path frees the opinfo
via __free_opinfo() while it is still linked in ci->m_op_list.
Concurrent m_op_list readers (opinfo_get_list, or direct iteration
in smb_break_all_levII_oplock) dereference the freed node.
2) opinfo->o_fp is assigned after add_lease_global_list() publishes
the opinfo on the global lease list. A concurrent
find_same_lease_key() can walk the lease list and dereference
opinfo->o_fp->f_ci while o_fp is still NULL.
Fix by restructuring the publication sequence to eliminate post-publish
failure:
- Set opinfo->o_fp before any list publication (fixes NULL deref).
- Preallocate lease_table via alloc_lease_table() before opinfo_add()
so add_lease_global_list() becomes infallible after publication.
- Keep the original m_op_list publication order (opinfo_add before
lease list) so concurrent opens via same_client_has_lease() and
opinfo_get_list() still see the in-flight grant.
- Use opinfo_put() instead of __free_opinfo() on err_out so that
the RCU-deferred free path is used.
This also requires splitting add_lease_global_list() to take a
preallocated lease_table and changing its return type from int to void,
since it can no longer fail.
Fixes: e2f34481b24d ("cifsd: add server-side procedures for SMB3")
Fixes: 1dfd062caa16 ("ksmbd: fix use-after-free by using call_rcu() for oplock_info")
