A compromised file server or an on-path attacker spoofing SMB responses reaches it with no local access.\nAC:L - The malicious server deterministically controls both halves of the sequence \u2014 dropping the TCP connection mid-request and crafting the QUERY_INFO reply on the replay \u2014 needing only two round trips, with no race or memory-layout condition outside its control. Mounted shares see routine xattr traffic from backup, archive, and desktop-metadata tooling.\nPR:N - A malicious or compromised SMB server holds no privileges whatsoever on the victim client, and nothing on the code path checks server trust. Even in a purely local framing, only ordinary write access to a file on the share is needed.\nUI:N - No victim action is required at exploitation time \u2014 the mount is already established via fstab/autofs/systemd, and the setxattr/removexattr that enters `smb2_set_ea()` is generated by ordinary background activity such as `rsync -X`, `cp -a`, `tar --xattrs`, or indexing daemons.\nS:U - The double free corrupts the kernel slab allocator within the same security authority as the vulnerable code; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The second `kfree()` releases a chunk that has almost certainly been reallocated to another live kernel object, producing a use-after-free with two owners; the attacker-chosen allocation size enables grooming into a targeted kmalloc cache and reading back arbitrary kernel data.\nI:H - Double-free/UAF of an attacker-sized slab object is the canonical primitive for heap spraying and controlled overwrite of an adjacent or aliased structure, giving arbitrary write and control-flow hijack potential.\nA:H - Even unexploited, the double free triggers slab freelist corruption or an immediate `BUG()` under `CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED`, causing a kernel oops/panic that is remotely and repeatably inducible by the server."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c"], "versions": [{"version": "433042a91f9373241307725b52de573933ffedbf", "lessThan": "b1813c220b76f60b1727984794377c4aa849d4c1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f1fffa2376922f3d1d506e49c0fd445b023a28e", "lessThan": "c9f758ecf2562dfdd4adf12c22921b5de8366123", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4f1fffa2376922f3d1d506e49c0fd445b023a28e", "lessThan": "19ebc1e6cab334a8193398d4152deb76019b5d34", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6.6.32", "lessThan": "6.6.59", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.8", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.8", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.59", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.11.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.11.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.32", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.59"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.11.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b1813c220b76f60b1727984794377c4aa849d4c1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c9f758ecf2562dfdd4adf12c22921b5de8366123"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/19ebc1e6cab334a8193398d4152deb76019b5d34"}], "title": "smb: client: fix possible double free in smb2_set_ea()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
