In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in _closefiletableids()
A ksmbdfile can remain alive after logical close while another session holds a temporary reference obtained through ksmbdlookupfdinode(). ksmbdclosefd() currently marks the file closed and drops the idr-owned reference, but leaves the pointer published in the closing session's idr until the final reference is dropped.
If the foreign holder performs the final ksmbdfdput(), __putfdfinal() supplies the foreign session's file table to __ksmbdclosefd(). The object is then freed without being removed from its owner's idr, and the owner session later dereferences the stale pointer during file-table teardown.
Remove the volatile id from the owner's idr while ksmbdclosefd() still holds that table's lock, and clear volatile_id before dropping the idr-owned reference. A later foreign final put then only performs physical destruction and cannot remove the object from the wrong table.
