Summary
CVE-2026-90162 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1
Details

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

ksmbd: defer publishing granted locks to prevent UAF/double-free race

In smb2_lock(), mid-batch granted locks are published to connection-wide (conn->lock_list) and file-wide (fp->lock_list) lists immediately upon vfs_lock_file() success, while also remaining tracked on the stack-local rollback_list.

If a subsequent element in the same SMB2_LOCK request array fails validation or execution, the thread jumps to out: and walks rollback_list to undo previously granted locks. However, because the granted lock was already published to conn->lock_list, a concurrent UNLOCK request on the same connection can find the lock object and kfree() it before the rollback loop executes.

When the granting thread subsequently walks rollback_list, it dereferences and frees the already-freed ksmbd_lock structure, resulting in a Use-After-Free and Double-Free (on both ksmbd_lock and struct file_lock).

Fix this by deferring the publication of granted locks to conn->lock_list and fp->lock_list until after the entire array of lock elements has been processed without error. Mid-batch grants remain tracked exclusively on the request-local rollback_list until the whole batch succeeds, eliminating the race window.
