[ Upstream commit 50f930db22365738d9387c974416f38a06e8057e ]
If ksmbd_iov_pin_rsp return error, use-after-free can happen by accessing opinfo->state and opinfo_put and ksmbd_fd_put could called twice.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:
## Security Impact Analysis
This commit fixes a critical **use-after-free vulnerability** in the oplock/lease break acknowledgment handling code paths in ksmbd (kernel SMB server). This is a serious security issue that can lead to:
1. **Memory corruption** - Accessing freed memory can corrupt kernel memory 2. **Kernel crashes** - Dereferencing freed pointers can cause kernel panics 3. **Potential privilege escalation** - UAF vulnerabilities can potentially be exploited for privilege escalation
## Code Analysis
The commit addresses a race condition where:
1. **Double-free issue**: Both `opinfo_put()` and `ksmbd_fd_put()` could be called twice on error paths 2. **Use-after-free of opinfo->op_state**: The code was accessing `opinfo->op_state` after potentially freeing the opinfo structure
### Specific Code Changes
In both `smb20_oplock_break_ack()` and `smb21_lease_break_ack()`, the fix reorganizes the cleanup logic:
**Before (vulnerable pattern):** ```c opinfo->op_state = OPLOCK_STATE_NONE; wake_up_interruptible_all(&opinfo->oplock_q); opinfo_put(opinfo); ksmbd_fd_put(work, fp);
// ... response setup ... ret = ksmbd_iov_pin_rsp(work, rsp, sizeof(...)); if (!ret) return;
err_out: opinfo->op_state = OPLOCK_STATE_NONE; // UAF: opinfo may be freed wake_up_interruptible_all(&opinfo->oplock_q); opinfo_put(opinfo); // Double-free ksmbd_fd_put(work, fp); // Double-free ```
**After (fixed pattern):** ```c // ... response setup ... ret = ksmbd_iov_pin_rsp(work, rsp, sizeof(...)); if (ret) { err_out: smb2_set_err_rsp(work); }
// Single cleanup path opinfo->op_state = OPLOCK_STATE_NONE; wake_up_interruptible_all(&opinfo->oplock_q); opinfo_put(opinfo); ksmbd_fd_put(work, fp); ```
## Stable Kernel Criteria
This commit meets all the stable kernel requirements:
1. **Fixes a real bug**: UAF vulnerabilities are serious security bugs 2. **Small and contained**: The fix is minimal, only reorganizing cleanup logic 3. **No new features**: Only fixes the bug, no functional changes 4. **Low regression risk**: The change is straightforward and doesn't modify core logic 5. **Clear fix**: The commit clearly addresses the specific UAF issue
## Historical Context
Looking at similar commits in ksmbd: - Multiple UAF fixes have been backported (e.g., commits 18b4fac5ef17, 21a4e47578d4, a1f46c99d9ea) - All have "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tags - This follows the same pattern of fixing race conditions and UAF issues in SMB protocol handling
## Conclusion
This commit should be backported because: 1. It fixes a critical security vulnerability (UAF) 2. The fix is minimal and low-risk 3. It follows the pattern of other ksmbd UAF fixes that were backported 4. The vulnerability was reported by a security researcher (Ziyan Xu) 5. It prevents potential kernel crashes and exploitation
The commit follows stable tree rules perfectly - it's a targeted fix for an important bug with minimal changes and no architectural modifications.
