once an SMB session and handle exist, the server alone drives the vulnerable CLOSE replay path.\nUI:N - On an already mounted or automounted share, background paths such as cached-directory close and cancelled-close work, as well as routine service file closes, can invoke SMB2_close without interactive user action at exploit time.\nS:U - The mempool double-free corrupts kernel memory within the same host kernel security authority and does not inherently cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - Double-free of a CIFS small/large response buffer can create overlapping live allocations and use-after-free reads, enabling disclosure of arbitrary kernel memory.\nI:H - Reallocation of the freed mempool object with attacker-controlled network data can corrupt live kernel objects or allocator metadata, enabling arbitrary writes and control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The duplicate free can immediately trigger allocator BUG diagnostics, heap corruption, oops, or panic, and the server can retrigger the path repeatedly."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/smb/client/smb2pdu.c"], "versions": [{"version": "433042a91f9373241307725b52de573933ffedbf", "lessThan": "037511726228aaf165c7067ff2bfc88eaecdf1f3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f1fffa2376922f3d1d506e49c0fd445b023a28e", "lessThan": "0aa97edf7c347c0f54e7e60c4740574b8120c66a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f1fffa2376922f3d1d506e49c0fd445b023a28e", "lessThan": "d15d83125007f673aec4323e1bbbaaffbe87ea13", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f1fffa2376922f3d1d506e49c0fd445b023a28e", "lessThan": "b18ed621dbfceecea5539848cddcb9272c9a61e1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f1fffa2376922f3d1d506e49c0fd445b023a28e", "lessThan": "f96e1cdcb63ed3321142ff2fcdf784e32cda8fee", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6.6.32", "lessThan": "6.6.145", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/smb/client/smb2pdu.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.8", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.8", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.145", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.96", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.39", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2-rc1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.32", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.145"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.96"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.39"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/037511726228aaf165c7067ff2bfc88eaecdf1f3"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0aa97edf7c347c0f54e7e60c4740574b8120c66a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d15d83125007f673aec4323e1bbbaaffbe87ea13"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b18ed621dbfceecea5539848cddcb9272c9a61e1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f96e1cdcb63ed3321142ff2fcdf784e32cda8fee"}], "title": "smb: client: fix double-free in SMB2_close() replay", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
