Details

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

smb: client: protect tc_count increment in smb2_find_smb_sess_tcon_unlocked()

Commit 96c4af418586 ("cifs: Fix locking usage for tcon fields") refactored cifs code to change cifs_tcp_ses_lock for tc_lock around tc_count changes.

There was missing lock around tc_count increment inside smb2_find_smb_sess_tcon_unlocked().

A network-positioned attacker controlling or impersonating the SMB server can drive the vulnerable cancelled-mid handling path.\nAC:L - The attacker controls SMB response timing and can trigger concurrent cifs_put_tcon() via server-initiated disconnect/reconnect, racing the unprotected tc_count increment. Cancelled-mid conditions arise from normal concurrent I/O, signals, and unmount/reconnect activity that the attacker can reliably provoke.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires no local privileges on the victim; a remote malicious or compromised SMB server can attack any client that has an active CIFS mount/session, without the attacker holding an account or capabilities on the victim host.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is needed at exploit time in common deployments where CIFS shares are automounted at boot or persistently connected (cloud file shares, enterprise NAS); the attacker abuses an already-established SMB session rather than requiring a new mount action.\nS:U - Impact is kernel memory corruption and potential local privilege escalation within the same kernel security domain, not a cross-boundary escape such as guest-to-host VM breakout.\nC:H - The race can cause a use-after-free of struct cifs_tcon; UAF of kernel heap objects enables arbitrary memory disclosure through controlled reuse of the freed structure.\nI:H - The UAF leads to subsequent kernel operations (SMB2_close, workqueue handlers) on freed memory, providing a path to arbitrary kernel write and potential code execution via heap grooming.\nA:H - Winning the refcount race causes use-after-free of cifs_tcon with continued kernel use of the freed object, which can trigger kernel oops/panic and denial of service even before full exploitation."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
