Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: fix use-after-free of parent dentry in lease break notification
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 12:11:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113041112.3736417-1-hdthky0@gmail.com> (raw)
smb_send_parent_lease_break_noti() and smb_lazy_parent_lease_break_close()
pass the raw fp->filp->f_path.dentry->d_parent to
ksmbd_inode_lookup_lock() without holding a reference on the parent
dentry. If the file is renamed out of its parent directory and the now
empty directory is removed concurrently, the parent dentry can be freed
before __ksmbd_inode_lookup() dereferences it, leading to a
use-after-free read of its d_inode field:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __ksmbd_inode_lookup+0x21/0x100
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88801aea06e8 by task kworker/0:7/332
Workqueue: ksmbd-io handle_ksmbd_work
Call Trace:
__asan_load8+0x82/0xb0
__ksmbd_inode_lookup+0x21/0x100
ksmbd_inode_lookup_lock+0x25/0x50
smb_send_parent_lease_break_noti+0x119/0x3a0
smb2_open+0x5298/0x5df0
handle_ksmbd_work+0x4f3/0xd30
Allocated by task 11:
__d_alloc+0x3a/0x410
__d_alloc_parallel+0xd9/0xc00
lookup_slow+0x49/0x70
Freed by task 66:
kmem_cache_free+0x22d/0x530
__d_free+0x26/0x30
dentry_free+0x8d/0x130
dentry_kill+0x2e8/0x5a0
dput+0x17/0x30
The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88801aea0680
The buggy address is located 104 bytes inside of freed 352-byte region
The read at +104 is exactly the d_inode member of the parent dentry,
which was freed through dput() -> dentry_kill() -> dentry_free() after
the file had been renamed out of the directory and the directory was
removed.
Pin the parent with dget_parent() around the lookup in both functions so
that it stays alive until the lookup completes.
Fixes: d47d9886aeef7 ("ksmbd: send v2 lease break notification for directory")
Fixes: c2a721eead712 ("ksmbd: lazy v2 lease break on smb2_write()")
