CVE-2026-64437
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free of a deferred file_lock on SMB2_CLOSE then SMB2_CANCEL
Commit f580d27e8928 ('ksmbd: fix use-after-free of a deferred file_lock on
double SMB2_CANCEL') made smb2_cancel() skip a work whose state is
KSMBD_WORK_CANCELLED, so its cancel_fn cannot be fired a second time. But
KSMBD_WORK has three states (ACTIVE, CANCELLED, CLOSED), and the same
freeing producer path is reached for CLOSED too:
SMB2_CLOSE on the locking handle -> set_close_state_blocked_works() sets
the deferred work's state to KSMBD_WORK_CLOSED and wakes the smb2_lock()
worker. The worker takes the non-ACTIVE early-exit, locks_free_lock()s
the file_lock and, because the state is not KSMBD_WORK_CANCELLED, takes
the STATUS_RANGE_NOT_LOCKED branch with 'goto out2' -- which, like the
cancelled branch, skips release_async_work(). The work stays on
conn->async_requests with a live cancel_fn = smb2_remove_blocked_lock
pointing at the freed file_lock.
A subsequent SMB2_CANCEL for the same AsyncId then passes the
KSMBD_WORK_CANCELLED-only guard (its state is KSMBD_WORK_CLOSED), so
smb2_cancel() fires cancel_fn again over the freed file_lock -- the same
use-after-free fixed, via SMB2_CLOSE instead of a first SMB2_CANCEL:

Reproduced on mainline 7.1-rc7 (which already contains f580d27e8928) with
KASAN by an authenticated SMB client; the double-SMB2_CANCEL control is
silent on that kernel, so the splat is attributable to the CLOSE trigger.
Only an ACTIVE deferred work may have its cancel_fn fired: both terminal
states (CANCELLED and CLOSED) reach the smb2_lock() early-exit that frees
the file_lock and skips release_async_work(). Guard on KSMBD_WORK_ACTIVE
so any non-active work is skipped.
