CVE-2026-43376
ksmbd: fix use-after-free by using call_rcu() for oplock_info
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free by using call_rcu() for oplock_info
ksmbd currently frees oplock_info immediately using kfree(), even
though it is accessed under RCU read-side critical sections in places
like opinfo_get() and proc_show_files().
Since there is no RCU grace period delay between nullifying the pointer
and freeing the memory, a reader can still access oplock_info
structure after it has been freed. This can leads to a use-after-free
especially in opinfo_get() where atomic_inc_not_zero() is called on
already freed memory.
Fix this by switching to deferred freeing using call_rcu().
