      <title>CVE-2026-99276 — ksmbd: defer connection scavenging while session locks are busy</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-99276</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ksmbd: defer connection scavenging while session locks are busy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The expiration worker holds conn_list_lock for reading while checking
for authenticated sessions. Without this change, the check can wait for
conn-&amp;gt;session_lock or sessions_table_lock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In destroy_previous_session(), the status updates after
ksmbd_conn_wait_idle_sess() run with both session locks held for
writing. Both the KSMBD_SESS_GOOD error path and the
KSMBD_SESS_NEED_SETUP success path call ksmbd_all_conn_set_status(),
which takes conn_list_lock for reading.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A writer queued on conn_list_lock can block these new read acquisitions.
The worker then waits for a session lock held by
destroy_previous_session(), which waits behind the writer. The writer
cannot proceed until the worker releases conn_list_lock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Try both session locks instead of waiting in the scavenging check. Keep
the connection when either lock is busy and let the periodic worker
retry later.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
