CVE-2026-74522
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in __close_file_table_ids()
A ksmbd_file can remain alive after logical close while another session holds a temporary reference obtained through ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode(). ksmbd_close_fd() currently marks the file closed and drops the idr-owned reference, but leaves the pointer published in the closing session's idr until the final reference is dropped.
If the foreign holder performs the final ksmbd_fd_put(), __put_fd_final() supplies the foreign session's file table to __ksmbd_close_fd(). The object is then freed without being removed from its owner's idr, and the owner session later dereferences the stale pointer during file-table teardown.

Remove the volatile id from the owner's idr while ksmbd_close_fd() still holds that table's lock, and clear volatile_id before dropping the idr-owned reference. A later foreign final put then only performs physical destruction and cannot remove the object from the wrong table.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.63%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 48
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1210Exploitation of Remote Serviceslateral movement75 % - Impacto principal
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation70 % - Impacto secundario
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact60 %
AV:N/PR:L indica explotación remota con privilegios (T1210). Use-after-free en ksmbd permite escalada de privilegios o DoS; impacto de confidencialidad/integridad sugiere T1068 como principal.
