Title
ksmbd: fix use-after-free of share_conf in compound request
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free of share_conf in compound request smb2_get_ksmbd_tcon() reuses work->tcon in compound requests without validating tcon->t_state. ksmbd_tree_conn_lookup() checks t_state == TREE_CONNECTED on the initial lookup path, but the compound reuse path bypasses this check entirely. If a prior command in the compound (SMB2_TREE_DISCONNECT) sets t_state to TREE_DISCONNECTED and frees share_conf via ksmbd_share_config_put(), subsequent commands dereference the freed share_conf through work->tcon->share_conf.

No local access or physical proximity is required.\nAC:L - The attacker controls the SMB2 compound command sequence, including TREE_DISCONNECT followed by a command that reuses work-\u003etcon. This is not a race requiring conditions outside attacker control.\nPR:N - Although the path needs a valid SMB session and tree, ksmbd supports guest/anonymous share deployments, and the highest reasonable exposed SMB deployment can provide that without pre-existing privileges. No local, administrative, or kernel privilege is required.\nUI:N - After the SMB server is exposed, exploitation only requires the attacker to send crafted SMB2 requests. No victim user action is needed.\nS:U - The vulnerability corrupts kernel SMB server state and impacts the same kernel security authority. It does not cross a VM, hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - This is a kernel use-after-free of share_conf, a heap object later dereferenced by SMB handlers. A reclaimed freed object can provide memory disclosure primitives, so confidentiality impact is high.\nI:H - Kernel use-after-free is memory corruption and can plausibly be shaped through heap reuse into write/control-flow corruption. Integrity impact is therefore high.\nA:H - The fix commit includes a KASAN slab-use-after-free report in smb2_write from this path. A remote attacker can crash or destabilize the kernel SMB server host."
