GHSA-V43P-8X6P-65W4
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-24 18:31 – Updated: 2026-10-30 15:33In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix races in cifsd thread creation
The cifsd demultiplex thread can run and access tcp_ses before the parent thread has finished populating tcp_ses, which the worker thread accesses locklessly.
Also, the kthread_run macro may start the thread before returning the thread pointer. Because the pointer is part of the structure that the thread can access, if the kernel is preempted after the thread is spawned, but before the thread pointer is populated and the thread attempts to exit, it will sleep, waiting for a SIGKILL signal.
Fix this by moving creation of the thread to after all of tcp_ses'es fields are populated, and spawning the thread last, using a split kthread_create/wake_up_process logic.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
