CVE-2026-43379

About vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free in smb_lazy_parent_lease_break_close() opinfo pointer obtained via rcu_dereference(fp->f_opinfo) is being accessed after rcu_read_unlock() has been called. This creates a race condition where the memory could be freed by a concurrent writer between the unlock and the subsequent pointer dereferences (opinfo->is_lease, etc.), leading to a use-after-free. A flaw was found in ksmbd, a component of the Linux kernel. A race condition exists where a pointer to opinfo is accessed after its associated memory may have been freed by a concurrent operation. This use-after-free vulnerability can lead to memory corruption, potentially causing system instability or a denial of service (DoS).

Live-patch status from KernelCare for each operating system.
