AI-suggested
A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel. Users should apply the official kernel updates that include this patch to ensure proper session and procfs resource management in ksmbd. Since this is a kernel-level fix, upgrading to a patched kernel version is the recommended remediation.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ksmbd component related to session procfs readers and table reference management has been resolved. The flaw involved dropping table references while per-session procfs entries were still accessible, potentially causing improper cleanup and resource handling. The fix ensures procfs entries are removed before dropping table references and properly drains procfs readers during connection cleanup to prevent access to destroyed resources.
