CVE-2026-98261 in Linux
Sumário
de MITRE • 06/10/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix server use-after-free in cifs_chan_skip_or_disable()
When a secondary channel is no longer supported by the server, cifs_chan_skip_or_disable() drops the channel reference with cifs_put_tcp_session() and then continues to use the server pointer by calling cifs_signal_cifsd_for_reconnect() on it and reading its primary_server pointer. cifs_put_tcp_session() can drop the last reference of the channel and tear it down, so both the channel and the primary server (whose reference is also dropped by cifs_put_tcp_session()) can be freed before they are signaled for reconnect.
Signal the channel and the primary server and capture the primary server pointer before dropping the channel reference with cifs_put_tcp_session().
