A malicious SMB server, or an off-path/MITM attacker injecting into an unsigned SMB connection, triggers it purely with network data.\nAC:L - The remote peer controls both sides of the race: it forces the session teardown (failed reconnect/session setup drives `__cifs_put_smb_ses()`), and it holds the SES_EXITING window open for the full request timeout simply by not answering the SMB2 LOGOFF, while flooding STATUS_NETWORK_NAME_DELETED responses. The attempt is freely repeatable with no attacker-uncontrollable precondition.\nPR:N - The attacker is the remote SMB peer and needs no credentials or privileges on the target Linux client; the code path runs in the kernel demux thread before any signature validation of the response.\nUI:N - The attack works against an already-established mount — an fstab/autofs/systemd-automount or DFS-referral connection, or a file server compromised or MITM'd after mount — and the server itself induces the session teardown, so no victim action is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel slab memory within the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Use-after-free on `cifs_tcon`/`cifs_ses` gives an attacker-influenced read of freed slab contents, and `pr_warn_once(\"%s\", tcon->tree_name)` walks freed heap memory into the kernel log, leaking whatever now occupies that object.\nI:H - The path writes into freed memory — `spin_lock(&tcon->tc_lock)` plus `tcon->need_reconnect = true` — on an object the remote attacker selects via the controlled TreeId, giving a heap-spray-able corruption primitive leveragable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Dereferencing the poisoned/freed session and tcon produces a general protection fault or KASAN oops in the cifsd kernel thread (as shown in the sibling fix's trace), crashing or hanging the client with the mount unusable."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c"],"versions":[{"version":"9e550b085206544bd03a8b1dd58a5414e9508351","lessThan":"f9414004798d9742c1af23a1d839fe6a9503751c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9e550b085206544bd03a8b1dd58a5414e9508351","lessThan":"aa582b33f94453fdeaff1e7d0aa252c505975e01","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9e550b085206544bd03a8b1dd58a5414e9508351","lessThan":"d919b6ea15ffa56fbafef4a1d92f47aeda9af645","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9e550b085206544bd03a8b1dd58a5414e9508351","lessThan":"63981561ffd2d4987807df4126f96a11e18b0c1d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.12","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.12","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.85","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.26","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.8.5","lessThanOrEqual":"6.8.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.9","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":"5.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.85"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.26"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.8.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.9"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f9414004798d9742c1af23a1d839fe6a9503751c"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aa582b33f94453fdeaff1e7d0aa252c505975e01"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d919b6ea15ffa56fbafef4a1d92f47aeda9af645"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/63981561ffd2d4987807df4126f96a11e18b0c1d"}],"title":"smb: client: fix potential UAF in smb2_is_network_name_deleted()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108","shortName":"CVE","dateUpdated":"2024-08-02T03:21:48.581Z"},"title":"CVE Program Container","references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f9414004798d9742c1af23a1d839fe6a9503751c","tags":["x_transferred"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aa582b33f94453fdeaff1e7d0aa252c505975e01","tags":["x_transferred"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d919b6ea15ffa56fbafef4a1d92f47aeda9af645","tags":["x_transferred"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/63981561ffd2d4987807df4126f96a11e18b0c1d","tags":["x_transferred"]}]},{"metrics":[{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"id":"CVE-2024-35862","role":"CISA Coordinator","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"version":"2.0.3","timestamp":"2024-09-10T15:41:27.598442Z"}}}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2024-09-11T17:33:17.367Z"}}]}}
