[PATCH] ksmbd: fix use-after-free of lease table in smb2_lease_break_noti()
From: Abdifatah Suruur
Date: Wed Aug 19 2026 - 05:14:47 EST
smb2_lease_break_noti() redirects v2 lease break notifications to the
client lease channel by reading lease->l_lb->conn. The lease table is
linked into the global lease_table_list and destroyed by
destroy_lease_table() on connection teardown, which unlinks it and
kfree()s it under write_lock(&lease_list_lock).
The break path dereferences lease->l_lb and lease->l_lb->conn without
holding lease_list_lock, so when the owning connection is torn down
concurrently (e.g. the client disconnects while another connection's
open triggers a lease break), the table can be freed between the load
and the dereference. This is a use-after-free read of struct
lease_table; the stale conn pointer is then passed to
ksmbd_conn_releasing() and ksmbd_conn_get(), corrupting a refcount on
memory that may have been reallocated.
Take a conn reference and perform the lease-table lookup under
read_lock(&lease_list_lock), matching the lock discipline of
find_same_lease_key() and lookup_lease_in_table(), and transfer the
reference to the async work item instead of re-taking it.
