Description
CVE-2026-64390 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ksmbd component related to SMB2 byte-range lock handling. The flaw involves improper tracking of the connection owning a byte-range lock, which can lead to concurrent access of freed memory structures due to mismatched spinlock usage in SMB3 multichannel environments. This can cause use-after-free conditions. The issue has been fixed in multiple Linux kernel versions starting from 5.15.0-1117.124~20.04.1 and related releases.
