Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-09-18 09:30 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: unset the binding mark of a reused connection

Steve French reported null pointer dereference error from sha256 lib. cifs.ko can send session setup requests on reused connection. If reused connection is used for binding session, conn->binding can still remain true and generate_preauth_hash() will not set sess->Preauth_HashValue and it will be NULL. It is used as a material to create an encryption key in ksmbd_gen_smb311_encryptionkey. ->Preauth_HashValue cause null pointer dereference error from crypto_shash_update().

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
