Affected: Linux

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

smb: client: fix potential cfid UAF in smb2_query_info_compound

When smb2_query_info_compound() retries, a previously allocated cfid may have been freed in the first attempt. Because cfid wasn't reset on replay, later cleanup could act on a stale pointer, leading to a potential use-after-free.

Reinitialize cfid to NULL under the replay label.

Example trace (trimmed):

refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
