Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 3/7] ksmbd: fix use-after-free in __ksmbd_close_fd() via durable scavenger
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 14:22:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716182205.921233-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260716182205.921233-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 235e32320a470fcd3998fb3774f2290a0eb302a1 ]
When a durable file handle survives session disconnect (TCP close without
SMB2_LOGOFF), session_fd_check() sets fp->conn = NULL to preserve the
handle for later reconnection. However, it did not clean up the byte-range
locks on fp->lock_list.
Later, when the durable scavenger thread times out and calls
__ksmbd_close_fd(NULL, fp), the lock cleanup loop did:
spin_lock(&fp->conn->llist_lock);
This caused a slab use-after-free because fp->conn was NULL and the
original connection object had already been freed by
ksmbd_tcp_disconnect().
The root cause is asymmetric cleanup: lock entries (smb_lock->clist) were
left dangling on the freed conn->lock_list while fp->conn was nulled out.
To fix this issue properly, we need to handle the lifetime of
smb_lock->clist across three paths:
- Safely skip clist deletion when list is empty and fp->conn is NULL.
- Remove the lock from the old connection's lock_list in
session_fd_check()
- Re-add the lock to the new connection's lock_list in
ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd().
Fixes: c8efcc786146 ("ksmbd: add support for durable handles v1/v2")
