Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: fix app-instance non-durable supersede session UAF
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:34:22 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026053422.61138-1-icb@fastmail.org> (raw)
ksmbd_close_fd_app_instance_id() supersedes a prior open that has the
same AppInstanceId. It reaches that open's session through opinfo->sess.
This pointer is not refcounted.
Session teardown detaches durable handles before it frees the session.
It does not detach a non-durable open. That open still points at the
session through opinfo->sess after the session is freed. Another session
can supersede the open at the same time. The supersede then takes a
write lock through the stale pointer, in the freed session's file table.
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _raw_write_lock+0x71/0xd0
Call Trace:
_raw_write_lock+0x71/0xd0
ksmbd_close_fd_app_instance_id+0xd9/0x670 [ksmbd]
smb2_open+0x3e10/0xd910 [ksmbd]
Freed by task 212:
ksmbd_session_destroy+0x38d/0x480 [ksmbd]
Fix this by looking the session up by opinfo->session_id. The lookup
returns a reference, as smb2_break_collect_channels() does. Recheck that
opinfo->sess still points at it before using it.
Do the lookup without m_lock held. destroy_previous_session() takes
m_lock under the session table lock, and taking them in the other order
here would deadlock.

Notes:
The bug needs an authenticated client with oplocks enabled, which is
the default. Two sessions with different ClientGUIDs open the same
file with the same AppInstanceId. The first session is then torn down
by LOGOFF or a disconnect while the second session's CREATE is
superseding it.
A reproducer is available on request.
The durable variant of this UAF was fixed by f363a0fb134a ("ksmbd: fix
app-instance durable supersede session UAF"). This is the non-durable
sibling. It predates that fix, so the Fixes tag points at the original
app-instance commit 16c30649709d.
An alternative fix also works. It takes a session reference in the
oplock_info. That changes session lifetime across durable reconnect
and touches more call sites.
This fix was developed with LLM assistance (code review and KASAN
reproduction).
Tested on ksmbd-for-next ed0063dd with only this patch applied, under
KASAN. The reproducer no longer triggers the report. The superseding
CREATE still succeeds. The race window was widened with a temporary
msleep() in smb2_handle_app_instance_id() to reproduce reliably. That
instrumentation is not part of this patch.
