CVE-2025-40328

Estado: AplazadaAlta (8.8)—

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

smb: client: fix potential UAF in smb2_close_cached_fid()

find_or_create_cached_dir() could grab a new reference after kref_put() had seen the refcount drop to zero but before cfid_list_lock is acquired in smb2_close_cached_fid(), leading to use-after-free.

Switch to kref_put_lock() so cfid_release() is called with cfid_list_lock held, closing that gap.

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 8.8

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.46%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 38
Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
