CVE-2025-40320
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):
