Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ksmbd: close accepted socket when per-IP limit rejects connection<br /> <br /> When the per-IP connection limit is exceeded in ksmbd_kthread_fn(),<br /> the code sets ret = -EAGAIN and continues the accept loop without<br /> closing the just-accepted socket. That leaks one socket per rejected<br /> attempt from a single IP and enables a trivial remote DoS.<br /> <br /> Release client_sk before continuing.<br /> <br /> This bug was found with ZeroPath.
