An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-23428 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23428/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23428/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23428","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23428/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23428","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-23428","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23428","GHSA-v45r-hfjf-mq4q","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-23428","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-23428","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-23428","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-23428","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23428"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ksmbd module allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via crafted compound SMB requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nksmbd: fix use-after-free of share_conf in compound request\n\nsmb2_get_ksmbd_tcon() reuses work-\u003etcon in compound requests without\nvalidating tcon-\u003et_state. ksmbd_tree_conn_lookup() checks t_state ==\nTREE_CONNECTED on the initial lookup path, but the compound reuse path\nbypasses this check entirely.\n\nIf a prior command in the compound (SMB2_TREE_DISCONNECT) sets t_state\nto TREE_DISCONNECTED and frees share_conf via ksmbd_share_config_put(),\nsubsequent commands dereference the freed share_conf through\nwork-\u003etcon-\u003eshare_conf.\n\nKASAN report:\n\n[    4.144653] ==================================================================\n[    4.145059] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in smb2_write+0xc74/0xe70\n[    4.145415] Read of size 4 at addr ffff88810430c194 by task kworker/1:1/44\n[    4.145772]\n[    4.145867] CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 44 Comm: kworker/1:1 Not tainted 7.0.0-rc3+ #60 PREEMPTLAZY\n[    4.145871] Hardware name: QEMU Ubuntu 24.04 PC v2 (i440FX + PIIX, arch_caps fix, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014\n[    4.145875] Workqueue: ksmbd-io handle_ksmbd_work\n[    4.145888] Call Trace:\n[    4.145892]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[    4.145894]  dump_stack_lvl+0x64/0x80\n[    4.145910]  print_report+0xce/0x660\n[    4.145919]  ?
