Access to this list is intended to be protected by\n'sess->rpc_lock' (an rw_semaphore). However, the locking implementation was\nflawed, leading to potential race conditions.\n\nIn ksmbd_session_rpc_open(), the code incorrectly acquired only a read lock\nbefore calling xa_store() and xa_erase(). Since these operations modify\nthe XArray structure, a write lock is required to ensure exclusive access\nand prevent data corruption from concurrent modifications.\n\nFurthermore, ksmbd_session_rpc_method() accessed the list using xa_load()\nwithout holding any lock at all. This could lead to reading inconsistent\ndata or a potential use-after-free if an entry is concurrently removed and\nthe pointer is dereferenced.\n\nFix these issues by:\n1. Using down_write() and up_write() in ksmbd_session_rpc_open()\n   to ensure exclusive access during XArray modification, and ensuring\n   the lock is correctly released on error paths.\n2. Adding down_read() and up_read() in ksmbd_session_rpc_method()\n   to safely protect the lookup."}],"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":"a4348710a7267705b75692dc1a000920481d1d92","lessThan":"69674b029002b1d90b655f014bdf64f404efa54d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b685757c7b08d5073046fb379be965fd6c06aafc","lessThan":"6b615a8fb3af0baf8126cde3d4fee97d57222ffc","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b685757c7b08d5073046fb379be965fd6c06aafc","lessThan":"5cc679ba0f4505936124cd4179ba66bb0a4bd9f3","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b685757c7b08d5073046fb379be965fd6c06aafc","lessThan":"6bd7e0e55dcea2cf0d391bbc21c2eb069b4be3e1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b685757c7b08d5073046fb379be965fd6c06aafc","lessThan":"305853cce379407090a73b38c5de5ba748893aee","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"1f485b54d04a920723984062c912174330a05178","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"052b41ef2abe274f068e892aee81406f11bd1f3a","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":"6.3","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.3","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.123","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.53","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.17.3","lessThanOrEqual":"6.17.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18","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":"6.3","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.123"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.3","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.53"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.3","versionEndExcluding":"6.17.3"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.3","versionEndExcluding":"6.18"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15.145"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.1.71"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/69674b029002b1d90b655f014bdf64f404efa54d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6b615a8fb3af0baf8126cde3d4fee97d57222ffc"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5cc679ba0f4505936124cd4179ba66bb0a4bd9f3"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6bd7e0e55dcea2cf0d391bbc21c2eb069b4be3e1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/305853cce379407090a73b38c5de5ba748893aee"}],"title":"ksmbd: Fix race condition in RPC handle list access","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
