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

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

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

ksmbd: track the connection owning a byte-range lock

SMB2_LOCK adds each granted byte-range lock to both the file lock list
and the lock list of the connection which handled the request.  The
final close and durable handle paths, however, remove the connection
list entry while holding fp->conn->llist_lock.

With SMB3 multichannel, the connection handling the LOCK request can be
different from the connection which opened the file.  The entry can
therefore be removed under a different spinlock from the one protecting
the list it belongs to.  A concurrent traversal can then access freed
struct ksmbd_lock and struct file_lock objects.

Record the connection owning each lock's clist entry and hold a
reference to it while the entry is linked.  Use that connection and its
llist_lock for unlock, rollback, close, and durable preserve.  Durable
reconnect assigns the new connection as the owner when publishing the
locks again.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64390 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:
