Descriptions

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

smb: client: fix UAF in smb2_reconnect_server()

The UAF bug is due to smb2_reconnect_server() accessing a session that
is already being teared down by another thread that is executing
__cifs_put_smb_ses(). This can happen when (a) the client has
connection to the server but no session or (b) another thread ends up
setting @ses->ses_status again to something different than
SES_EXITING.

To fix this, we need to make sure to unconditionally set
@ses->ses_status to SES_EXITING and prevent any other threads from
setting a new status while we're still tearing it down.

The following can be reproduced by adding some delay to right after
the ipc is freed in __cifs_put_smb_ses() - which will give
smb2_reconnect_server() worker a chance to run and then accessing
@ses->ipc:

kinit ...
mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt/1 -o sec=krb5,nohandlecache,echo_interval=10
[disconnect srv]
ls /mnt/1 &>/dev/null
sleep 30
kdestroy
[reconnect srv]
sleep 10
umount /mnt/1
...

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: smb: cliente: corrige UAF en smb2_reconnect_server() El error de UAF se debe a que smb2_reconnect_server() accede a una sesión que ya está siendo cancelada por otro hilo que está ejecutando __cifs_put_smb_ses(). Esto puede suceder cuando (a) el cliente tiene conexión al servidor pero no tiene sesión o (b) otro hilo termina configurando @ses-&gt;ses_status nuevamente en algo diferente a SES_EXITING. Para solucionar este problema, debemos asegurarnos de establecer incondicionalmente @ses-&gt;ses_status en SES_EXITING y evitar que otros hilos establezcan un nuevo estado mientras todavía lo estamos derribando. Lo siguiente se puede reproducir agregando algo de retraso justo después de que se libera el ipc en __cifs_put_smb_ses(), lo que le dará al trabajador smb2_reconnect_server() la oportunidad de ejecutarse y luego acceder a @ses-&gt;ipc: kinit ... mount.cifs // srv/share /mnt/1 -o sec=krb5,nohandlecache,echo_interval=10 [disconnect srv] ls /mnt/1 &amp;&gt;/dev/null dormir 30 kdestroy [reconnect srv] sleep 10 umount /mnt/1 ...
