CVE-2026-90164 in Linux
Tóm tắt
Bởi MITRE • 17/09/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb/server: abort initialization when proc setup fails
ksmbd_server_init() calls ksmbd_proc_init() before creating the remaining proc entries and server subsystems. ksmbd_proc_init() tears down partial state on a procfs or percpu_counter allocation failure, but returns void, so ksmbd_server_init() continues as if the counters were usable.
Once userspace starts the server, server_ctrl_handle_init() calls ksmbd_proc_reset(), which reaches percpu_counter_set() with a NULL per-CPU counters pointer on SMP systems. The later ksmbd_proc_create() calls also receive a NULL parent and may create entries in the /proc root; ksmbd_proc_cleanup() cannot remove those entries because ksmbd_proc_fs is NULL.
