No local access is needed.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race — one connection deterministically triggers ksmbd_expire_session()'s unlocked hash_del()+kfree() via a second SessionId=0 SESSION_SETUP, while parallel connections drive hash_add()/__session_lookup() on the same 8-bucket global table, making bucket collisions near-certain.\nPR:N - smb2_check_user_session() explicitly exempts SMB2_SESSION_SETUP_HE from the conn-good/session-validity check, and ksmbd_smb2_session_create() plus ksmbd_session_register() run before any NTLMSSP/Kerberos credential is processed. An unauthenticated remote attacker reaches the bug.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only that the attacker open TCP connections to the listening ksmbd port and send SESSION_SETUP requests; no action by any local user or administrator is involved.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel slab memory within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The UAF lets __session_lookup()/ksmbd_session_lookup_slowpath() return a dangling struct ksmbd_session that is then used as work->sess, exposing sess->user credentials, sess_key, smb3signingkey and smb3encryptionkey/decryptionkey read out of attacker-groomable freed memory.\nI:H - hlist_add_head() writes a kernel pointer (first->pprev = &n->next) into the freed, sprayable slab object, and __session_lookup() writes sess->last_active into freed memory — a write primitive usable for heap grooming and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Corrupting the global session hlist and using a freed session reliably produces a slab-use-after-free oops or panic, remotely and repeatably without authentication."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/smb/server/mgmt/user_session.c"],"versions":[{"version":"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf","lessThan":"f56446ba5378d19e31040b548a14ee9a8f1500ea","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf","lessThan":"e923503a56b3385b64ae492e3225e4623f560c5b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf","lessThan":"e7a2ad2044377853cf8c59528dac808a08a99c72","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf","lessThan":"0a77715db22611df50b178374c51e2ba0d58866e","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/server/mgmt/user_session.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.15","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.15","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.117","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.61","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.11.8","lessThanOrEqual":"6.11.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12","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":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.117"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.61"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.11.8"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.12"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f56446ba5378d19e31040b548a14ee9a8f1500ea"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e923503a56b3385b64ae492e3225e4623f560c5b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e7a2ad2044377853cf8c59528dac808a08a99c72"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0a77715db22611df50b178374c51e2ba0d58866e"}],"title":"ksmbd: fix slab-use-after-free in ksmbd_smb2_session_create","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"scope":"UNCHANGED","version":"3.1","baseScore":7.8,"attackVector":"LOCAL","baseSeverity":"HIGH","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","integrityImpact":"HIGH","userInteraction":"NONE","attackComplexity":"LOW","availabilityImpact":"HIGH","privilegesRequired":"LOW","confidentialityImpact":"HIGH"}},{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"id":"CVE-2024-50286","role":"CISA Coordinator","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"total"}],"version":"2.0.3","timestamp":"2025-03-06T16:07:56.848996Z"}}}],"problemTypes":[{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","type":"CWE","cweId":"CWE-416","description":"CWE-416 Use After Free"}]}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2025-03-06T16:14:33.108Z"}},{"title":"CVE Program Container","references":[{"url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html"}],"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108","shortName":"CVE","dateUpdated":"2025-11-03T22:28:07.988Z"}}]}}
