Summary
CVE-2023-52757 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.182.1-1
Details

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

smb: client: fix potential deadlock when releasing mids

All release_mid() callers seem to hold a reference of @mid so there is no need to call kref_put(&mid->refcount, __release_mid) under @server->mid_lock spinlock. If they don't, then an use-after-free bug would have occurred anyways.

By getting rid of such spinlock also fixes a potential deadlock as shown below

CPU 0 CPU 1

cifs_demultiplex_thread() cifs_debug_data_proc_show() release_mid() spin_lock(&server->mid_lock); spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock) spin_lock(&server->mid_lock) __release_mid() smb2_find_smb_tcon() spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock) deadlock
