CVE-2026-64397
CRITICAL
9.8
CVSS 3.1
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: serialize QUERY_DIRECTORY requests per file
smb2_query_dir() stores a pointer to its stack-allocated private data in
the ksmbd_file readdir_data. Concurrent QUERY_DIRECTORY requests using the
same file handle can overwrite this pointer while an iterate_dir() callback
is still using it, resulting in a stack use-after-free.
Add a per-file mutex and hold it while accessing the shared directory
enumeration state. The lock covers scan restart, dot entry state,
readdir_data setup and iteration, and response construction. This prevents
another request from replacing readdir_data.private before the current
request has finished using it and also serializes the shared file position.
