Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
smb: client: fix UAF in smb2_reconnect_server()<br />
<br />
The UAF bug is due to smb2_reconnect_server() accessing a session that<br />
is already being teared down by another thread that is executing<br />
__cifs_put_smb_ses(). This can happen when (a) the client has<br />
connection to the server but no session or (b) another thread ends up<br />
setting @ses->ses_status again to something different than<br />
SES_EXITING.<br />
<br />
To fix this, we need to make sure to unconditionally set<br />
@ses->ses_status to SES_EXITING and prevent any other threads from<br />
setting a new status while we&#39;re still tearing it down.<br />
<br />
The following can be reproduced by adding some delay to right after<br />
the ipc is freed in __cifs_put_smb_ses() - which will give<br />
smb2_reconnect_server() worker a chance to run and then accessing<br />
@ses->ipc:<br />
<br />
kinit ...<br />
mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt/1 -o sec=krb5,nohandlecache,echo_interval=10<br />
[disconnect srv]<br />
ls /mnt/1 &>/dev/null<br />
sleep 30<br />
kdestroy<br />
[reconnect srv]<br />
sleep 10<br />
umount /mnt/1<br />
