      <title>CVE-2026-90164 — smb/server: abort initialization when proc setup fails</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-90164</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;smb/server: abort initialization when proc setup fails&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ksmbd_server_init() calls ksmbd_proc_init() before creating the
remaining proc entries and server subsystems. ksmbd_proc_init() tears
down partial state on a procfs or percpu_counter allocation failure,
but returns void, so ksmbd_server_init() continues as if the counters
were usable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once userspace starts the server, server_ctrl_handle_init() calls
ksmbd_proc_reset(), which reaches percpu_counter_set() with a NULL
per-CPU counters pointer on SMP systems. The later ksmbd_proc_create()
calls also receive a NULL parent and may create entries in the /proc
root; ksmbd_proc_cleanup() cannot remove those entries because
ksmbd_proc_fs is NULL.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
