Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 13:06:43 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix missed ses refcounting

Use new cifs_smb_ses_inc_refcount() helper to get an active reference
of @ses and @ses->dfs_root_ses (if set).  This will prevent
@ses->dfs_root_ses of being put in the next call to cifs_put_smb_ses()
and thus potentially causing an use-after-free bug.
