Title
ksmbd: fix use-after-free of conn->preauth_info in concurrent SMB2 NEGOTIATE
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free of conn->preauth_info in concurrent SMB2 NEGOTIATE conn->preauth_info is shared connection state (struct preauth_integrity_info, kmalloc-96) that is allocated and freed by the SMB2 NEGOTIATE handler and read by the response send path. smb2_handle_negotiate() allocates conn->preauth_info, and on a deassemble_neg_contexts() failure kfrees it and sets it to NULL. Both the allocation and the free/NULL happen under ksmbd_conn_lock(conn) (the connection srv_mutex), which is held across the whole handler body. The response send path smb3_preauth_hash_rsp(), called from the send: block of __handle_ksmbd_work(), reads conn->preauth_info and dereferences conn->preauth_info->Preauth_HashValue (via ksmbd_gen_preauth_integrity_hash()) without taking conn_lock. When a client drives two SMB2 NEGOTIATE requests on the same connection, one worker can free conn->preauth_info on the failing-negotiate path while a concurrent send-path worker is reading it, producing a slab use-after-free read (KASAN-confirmed). The send-path read tested conn->preauth_info for NULL but raced with the free that occurs between the NULL check and the dereference, so the NULL guard alone does not close the window. Serialize the NEGOTIATE-branch read in smb3_preauth_hash_rsp() under ksmbd_conn_lock(conn) and re-check conn->preauth_info inside the lock. Because the negotiate handler holds conn_lock across its kfree + NULL assignment, a reader that also takes conn_lock either runs fully before the allocation or fully after the NULL store, and can never observe the freed-but-not-yet-NULLed pointer. ksmbd_gen_preauth_integrity_hash() takes no locks itself (it only computes a SHA-512 over the buffer), so no lock-ordering inversion is introduced, and conn_lock is a sleepable mutex which is safe on this send path (it already performs network I/O).

Both the\nallocation and the free/NULL happen under ksmbd_conn_lock(conn) (the\nconnection srv_mutex), which is held across the whole handler body.\n\nThe response send path smb3_preauth_hash_rsp(), called from the send:\nblock of __handle_ksmbd_work(), reads conn-\u003epreauth_info and dereferences\nconn-\u003epreauth_info-\u003ePreauth_HashValue (via\nksmbd_gen_preauth_integrity_hash()) without taking conn_lock. When a\nclient drives two SMB2 NEGOTIATE requests on the same connection, one\nworker can free conn-\u003epreauth_info on the failing-negotiate path while a\nconcurrent send-path worker is reading it, producing a slab\nuse-after-free read (KASAN-confirmed).\n\nThe send-path read tested conn-\u003epreauth_info for NULL but raced with the\nfree that occurs between the NULL check and the dereference, so the NULL\nguard alone does not close the window.\n\nSerialize the NEGOTIATE-branch read in smb3_preauth_hash_rsp() under\nksmbd_conn_lock(conn) and re-check conn-\u003epreauth_info inside the lock.\nBecause the negotiate handler holds conn_lock across its kfree + NULL\nassignment, a reader that also takes conn_lock either runs fully before\nthe allocation or fully after the NULL store, and can never observe the\nfreed-but-not-yet-NULLed pointer. ksmbd_gen_preauth_integrity_hash()\ntakes no locks itself (it only computes a SHA-512 over the buffer), so\nno lock-ordering inversion is introduced, and conn_lock is a sleepable\nmutex which is safe on this send path (it already performs network I/O)."
