ksmbd: fix durable reconnect double-bind race in ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd

2026-06-01T00:13:48+00:00

Two concurrent same-user DHnC reconnects can both observe fp->conn == NULL before either sets it. ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd() checks fp->conn to guard against a handle already being reconnected, but the check and the binding assignment are not atomic: both threads pass the guard, both call ksmbd_conn_get() on the same fp, and both eventually reach kfree(fp->owner.name) -- a double-free of the owner.name slab object. The double-bound ksmbd_file also causes a write-UAF on the 344-byte ksmbd_file_cache object when a concurrent smb2_close() spins on fp->f_lock after the object has been freed by the losing reconnect path. KASAN on 7.1-rc5 (48-thread concurrent reconnect, 3000 cycles): BUG: KASAN: double-free in ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd+0x268/0x308 BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _raw_spin_lock+0xac/0x150 Write of size 4 at offset 24 into freed ksmbd_file_cache object Five double-bind windows observed; 63 total KASAN reports triggered. Fix: validate and claim fp->conn under write_lock(&global_ft.lock) so the check-and-claim is atomic. ksmbd_lookup_durable_fd() already treats fp->conn != NULL as "in use" and skips such an fp; setting fp->conn before dropping the lock closes the race. ksmbd_conn_get() is a non-sleeping refcount increment, safe under the rwlock. The rollback path on __open_id() failure also clears fp->conn/tcon under the lock so concurrent readers see a consistent state.

ksmbd: release ksmbd_inode ref via ksmbd_inode_put on lookup paths

2026-05-27T01:36:36+00:00

ksmbd_query_inode_status() and ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() both take a reference on a ksmbd_inode via __ksmbd_inode_lookup() (which performs atomic_inc_not_zero()) and later release it using a bare atomic_dec(&ci->m_count). Unlike ksmbd_inode_put(), a bare atomic_dec() does not check whether the reference count has reached zero, so if the caller happens to drop the last reference, the ksmbd_inode is leaked: it stays in the global inode hash table with m_count == 0, future __ksmbd_inode_lookup() calls reject it via atomic_inc_not_zero(), and ksmbd_inode_free() is never invoked. The race is: T1: __ksmbd_inode_lookup() -> atomic_inc_not_zero(): m_count = 2 T2: ksmbd_inode_put() -> atomic_dec_and_test(): m_count = 1 (not freed) T1: atomic_dec(&ci->m_count) -> m_count = 0 return (LEAK) In ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() the matched-fp path (which now also uses ksmbd_inode_put()) cannot currently reach m_count == 0 because the matched ksmbd_file holds its own reference on ci, but converting it to the proper API keeps the three call sites consistent and avoids future regressions if the locking changes. Because ksmbd_inode_put() may free the ksmbd_inode if this drops the last reference, the call must happen after up_read(&ci->m_lock) on the two affected paths in ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode(). On the no-match path this is a pure reordering; on the matched path ksmbd_fp_get() is moved above the unlock so that the returned ksmbd_file is pinned before the inode reference is released.

ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in proc_show_files()

2026-05-13T21:35:23+00:00

When a SMB2 client opens a file with a durable v2 handle and then issues SMB2 SESSION_LOGOFF, session_fd_check() clears fp->tcon = NULL on the reconnectable file pointer but leaves the fp registered in global_ft.idr until the durable scavenger fires (up to fp->durable_timeout seconds later). During that window any read of /proc/fs/ksmbd/files (mode 0400) panics the kernel because proc_show_files() walks global_ft.idr and unconditionally dereferences fp->tcon->id with no NULL guard. Reproducer requires only a successful SMB2 SESSION_SETUP and a share configured with 'durable handles = yes'.

ksmbd: close durable scavenger races against m_fp_list lookups

2026-05-02T02:49:35+00:00

ksmbd_durable_scavenger() has two related races against any walker that iterates f_ci->m_fp_list, including ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() (used by ksmbd_vfs_rename) and the share-mode checks in fs/smb/server/smb_common.c. (1) fp->node list-head reuse. Durable-preserved handles can remain linked on f_ci->m_fp_list after session teardown so share-mode checks still see them while the handle is reconnectable. The scavenger collected expired handles by adding fp->node to a local scavenger_list after removing them from the global durable idr. Because fp->node is the same list_head used by m_fp_list, list_add(&fp->node, &scavenger_list) overwrites the m_fp_list links and corrupts both lists. CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST can report this on the share-mode walk path. (2) Refcount race against m_fp_list walkers. The scavenger qualifies an expired durable handle with atomic_read(&fp->refcount) > 1 and fp->conn under global_ft.lock, removes fp from global_ft, then drops global_ft.lock before unlinking fp from m_fp_list and freeing it. During that gap fp is still linked on m_fp_list with f_state == FP_INITED. ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() under m_lock read calls ksmbd_fp_get() (atomic_inc_not_zero on refcount that is still 1) and takes a live reference; the scavenger then unlinks and frees fp while the holder owns a reference, leading to UAF on the holder's subsequent ksmbd_fd_put() and on any field reads performed by a concurrent share-mode walker that iterates m_fp_list without taking ksmbd_fp_get() (smb_check_perm_dleases-like paths). Fix both: * Stop reusing fp->node as a scavenger-private list node. Remove one expired handle from global_ft under global_ft.lock, take an explicit transient reference, drop the lock, unlink fp->node from m_fp_list under f_ci->m_lock, then drop both the durable lifetime and transient references with atomic_sub_and_test(2, &fp->refcount). If the scavenger is the last putter the close runs there; otherwise an in-flight holder that already raced through the m_fp_list lookup owns the final close via its ksmbd_fd_put() path. The one-at-a-time disposal can rescan the durable idr when multiple handles expire in the same pass, but durable scavenging is a background expiration path and the final full scan recomputes min_timeout before the next wait. * Clear fp->persistent_id inside __ksmbd_remove_durable_fd() right after idr_remove(), so a delayed final close from a holder that snatched fp does not re-issue idr_remove() on a persistent id that idr_alloc_cyclic() in ksmbd_open_durable_fd() may have already handed out to a brand-new durable handle. * Bypass the per-conn open_files_count decrement in __put_fd_final() when fp is detached from any session table (fp->conn cleared by session_fd_check() at durable preserve -- paired with the volatile_id clear at unpublish, so checking fp->conn alone is sufficient). The walker that owns the final close runs from an unrelated work->conn whose stats.open_files_count never tracked this durable fp; without this guard the holder would underflow that unrelated counter. The two races are folded into one patch because patch (1) alone cleans up the corrupted list but leaves a deterministic UAF window for m_fp_list walkers that the transient-reference and persistent_id discipline in (2) close; bisecting onto an intermediate state would land on a UAF that pre-patch chaos merely made less reproducible. Validation: * CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST coverage for the list_head reuse path. * KASAN-enabled direct SMB2 durable-handle coverage that exercised ksmbd_durable_scavenger() and non-NULL ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() returns while durable handles expired under concurrent rename lookups, with no KASAN, UAF, list-corruption, ODEBUG, or WARNING reports. * checkpatch --strict * make -j$(nproc) M=fs/smb/server Fixes: d484d621d40f ("ksmbd: add durable scavenger timer") Signed-off-by: DaeMyung Kang Acked-by: Namjae Jeon Signed-off-by: Steve French

ksmbd: harden file lifetime during session teardown

2026-05-02T02:49:35+00:00

__close_file_table_ids() is the per-session teardown that closes every fp belonging to a session (or to one tree connect on that session) by walking the session's volatile-id idr. The current loop has three related problems on busy or racing workloads: * Sleeping under ft->lock. The session-teardown skip callback, session_fd_check(), already sleeps in ksmbd_vfs_copy_durable_owner() -> kstrdup(GFP_KERNEL) and down_write(&fp->f_ci->m_lock) (a rw_semaphore). Running the callback inside write_lock(&ft->lock) trips CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP / CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING on a durable-fd workload. * Refcount accounting blind to f_state. The unconditional atomic_dec_and_test(&fp->refcount) does not distinguish FP_INITED (idr-owned reference still intact) from FP_CLOSED (an earlier ksmbd_close_fd() already consumed the idr-owned reference while leaving fp in the idr because a holder kept refcount non-zero). When the latter races with teardown the same path over-decrements into a holder reference and ksmbd_fd_put() later UAFs that holder. * FP_NEW window. Between __open_id() publishing fp into the session idr and ksmbd_update_fstate(..., FP_INITED) committing the transition at the end of smb2_open(), an fp is in FP_NEW and an intervening teardown that takes a transient reference and unpublishes the volatile id leaves the original idr-owned reference orphaned -- the opener is unaware that fp has been unpublished, returns success to the client, and the fp leaks at refcount = 1. Refactor __close_file_table_ids() to take a transient reference on fp and unpublish fp from the session idr *under ft->lock* before calling skip() outside the lock. A transient ref protects lifetime but not concurrent field mutation, so the idr_remove() is what keeps __ksmbd_lookup_fd() through this session's idr from granting a new ksmbd_fp_get() reference to an fp whose fp->conn / fp->tcon / fp->volatile_id / op->conn / lock_list links are about to be rewritten by session_fd_check(). Durable reconnect is unaffected because it reaches fp through the global durable table (ksmbd_lookup_durable_fd -> global_ft). Decide n_to_drop together with any FP_INITED -> FP_CLOSED transition under ft->lock so teardown and ksmbd_close_fd() never both consume the idr-owned reference. See ksmbd_mark_fp_closed() for the per-state accounting. For the FP_NEW path to be safe, the opener has to learn that fp was unpublished: ksmbd_update_fstate() now returns -ENOENT when an FP_NEW -> FP_INITED transition finds f_state already advanced or the volatile id cleared (both committed by teardown under ft->lock); smb2_open() propagates that as STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID and drops the original reference via ksmbd_fd_put(). The list removal cannot be left for a deferred final putter because fp->volatile_id has already been cleared and __ksmbd_remove_fd() will intentionally skip both idr_remove() and list_del_init(). Move the m_fp_list unlink in __ksmbd_remove_fd() above the volatile-id check so that an FP_NEW fp that happened to be added to m_fp_list (smb2_open() adds fp->node before ksmbd_update_fstate() runs) is still cleaned up on the deferred putter path; list_del_init() on an empty node is a no-op and remains safe for fps that were never added. Add a defensive guard in session_fd_check() that refuses non-FP_INITED fps so that even if a teardown reaches an FP_NEW fp it falls into the close branch (where the n_to_drop = 1 accounting keeps the opener's reference alive) instead of the durable-preserve branch (which mutates fp->conn / fp->tcon). Validation on a debug kernel additionally built with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK used a same-session two-tcon workload (open/write storm on one tcon, 50 tree disconnects on the other) and reported no list-corruption, work_struct ODEBUG, sleep-in-atomic, lockdep or kmemleak reports. Reverting only the __close_file_table_ids() hunk while keeping a forced-is_reconnectable() harness produced the expected sleep-in-atomic at vfs_cache.c:1095, confirming the ft->lock-out-of-sleepable-skip discipline. KASAN-enabled direct SMB2 coverage with durable handles enabled exercised ksmbd_close_tree_conn_fds(), ksmbd_close_session_fds(), the FP_NEW failure path, tree_conn_fd_check(), and a non-zero session_fd_check() durable-preserve return.

ksmbd: centralize ksmbd_conn final release to plug transport leak

2026-05-02T02:49:35+00:00

ksmbd_conn_free() is one of four sites that can observe the last refcount drop of a struct ksmbd_conn. The other three fs/smb/server/connection.c ksmbd_conn_r_count_dec() fs/smb/server/oplock.c __free_opinfo() fs/smb/server/vfs_cache.c session_fd_check() end the conn with a bare kfree(), skipping ida_destroy(&conn->async_ida) and conn->transport->ops->free_transport(conn->transport). Whenever one of them is the last putter, the embedded async_ida and the entire transport struct leak -- for TCP, that is also the struct socket and the kvec iov. __free_opinfo() being a final putter is not theoretical. opinfo_put() queues the callback via call_rcu(&opinfo->rcu, free_opinfo_rcu), so ksmbd_server_terminate_conn() can deposit N opinfo releases in RCU and have ksmbd_conn_free() run in the handler thread before any of them fire. ksmbd_conn_free() then observes refcnt > 0 and short-circuits; the last RCU-delivered __free_opinfo() falls onto its bare kfree(conn) branch and the transport is lost. A/B validation in a QEMU/virtme guest, mounting //127.0.0.1/testshare: each iteration holds 8 files open via sleep processes, force-closes TCP with "ss -K sport = :445", kills the holders, lazy-umounts; repeated 10 times, then ksmbd shutdown and kmemleak scan. state conn_alloc conn_free tcp_free opi_rcu kmemleak ---------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- -------- pre-patch 20 20 10 160 7 with patch 20 20 20 160 0 Pre-patch conn_free=20 with tcp_free=10 directly demonstrates the bare-kfree paths skipping transport cleanup; kmemleak backtraces point into struct tcp_transport / iov. With this patch tcp_free matches conn_free at 20/20 and kmemleak is clean. Move the per-struct final release into __ksmbd_conn_release_work() and route the three bare-kfree final-put sites through a new ksmbd_conn_put(). Those sites now pair ida_destroy() and free_transport() with kfree(conn) regardless of which holder happens to release the last reference. stop_sessions() only triggers the transport shutdown and does not itself drop the last conn reference, so it is unaffected. The centralized release reaches sock_release() -> tcp_close() -> lock_sock_nested() (might_sleep) from every final putter, including __free_opinfo() invoked from an RCU softirq callback, which trips CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP. Defer the release to a dedicated ksmbd_conn_wq workqueue so ksmbd_conn_put() is safe from any non-sleeping context. Make ksmbd_file own a strong connection reference while fp->conn is non-NULL so durable-preserve and final-close paths cannot dereference a stale connection. ksmbd_open_fd() and ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd() take the reference via ksmbd_conn_get() (the latter also reorders the fp->conn / fp->tcon assignments before __open_id() so the published fp is never observed with fp->conn == NULL); session_fd_check() and __ksmbd_close_fd() drop it via ksmbd_conn_put(). With that invariant, session_fd_check() can take a local conn pointer once and use it across the m_op_list and lock_list iterations even though op->conn puts may otherwise drop the last reference. At module exit the workqueue is flushed and destroyed after rcu_barrier(), so any release queued by a trailing RCU callback is drained before the inode hash and module text go away.

ksmbd: validate owner of durable handle on reconnect

2026-04-12T23:07:54+00:00

Currently, ksmbd does not verify if the user attempting to reconnect to a durable handle is the same user who originally opened the file. This allows any authenticated user to hijack an orphaned durable handle by predicting or brute-forcing the persistent ID. According to MS-SMB2, the server MUST verify that the SecurityContext of the reconnect request matches the SecurityContext associated with the existing open. Add a durable_owner structure to ksmbd_file to store the original opener's UID, GID, and account name. and catpure the owner information when a file handle becomes orphaned. and implementing ksmbd_vfs_compare_durable_owner() to validate the identity of the requester during SMB2_CREATE (DHnC).

ksmbd: fix use-after-free in __ksmbd_close_fd() via durable scavenger

2026-04-12T23:07:54+00:00

When a durable file handle survives session disconnect (TCP close without SMB2_LOGOFF), session_fd_check() sets fp->conn = NULL to preserve the handle for later reconnection. However, it did not clean up the byte-range locks on fp->lock_list. Later, when the durable scavenger thread times out and calls __ksmbd_close_fd(NULL, fp), the lock cleanup loop did: spin_lock(&fp->conn->llist_lock); This caused a slab use-after-free because fp->conn was NULL and the original connection object had already been freed by ksmbd_tcp_disconnect(). The root cause is asymmetric cleanup: lock entries (smb_lock->clist) were left dangling on the freed conn->lock_list while fp->conn was nulled out. To fix this issue properly, we need to handle the lifetime of smb_lock->clist across three paths: - Safely skip clist deletion when list is empty and fp->conn is NULL. - Remove the lock from the old connection's lock_list in session_fd_check() - Re-add the lock to the new connection's lock_list in ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd().

ksmbd: fix use-after-free in proc_show_files due to early rcu_read_unlock

2026-03-09T02:28:39+00:00

The opinfo pointer obtained via rcu_dereference(fp->f_opinfo) is dereferenced after rcu_read_unlock(), creating a use-after-free window. A concurrent opinfo_put() can free the opinfo between the unlock and the subsequent access to opinfo->is_lease, opinfo->o_lease->state, and opinfo->level. Fix this by deferring rcu_read_unlock() until after all opinfo field accesses are complete. The values needed (const_names, count, level) are copied into local variables under the RCU read lock, and the potentially-sleeping seq_printf calls happen after the lock is released.
