From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix double-free in SMB2_ioctl() replay

A response-bearing attempt can return a replayable error and free its
response buffer. If SMB2_ioctl_init() fails before the next send, cleanup
retains the previous buffer type and frees that response again.

Reset response bookkeeping before each attempt to prevent the stale free.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64385 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
