A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd server. This vulnerability occurs when the `ksmbd_stop_durable_scavenger` function attempts to stop a kernel thread that was not properly initialized, leading to an invalid pointer dereference. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
