And before returning from opencacheddir(), we put the last reference of the new @cfid because of !@cfid->haslease. Besides the UAF, while running xfstests a lot of missed lease breaks have been noticed in tests that run several concurrent statfs(2) calls on those cached fids CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test No task to wake, unknown frame... CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test Cmd: 18 Err: 0x0 Flags: 0x1... CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test smb buf 00000000715bfe83 len 108 CIFS: VFS: Dump pending requests: CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test No task to wake, unknown frame... CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test Cmd: 18 Err: 0x0 Flags: 0x1... CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test smb buf 000000005aa7316e len 108 ... To fix both, in opencacheddir() ensure that @cfid->haslease is set right before sending out compounded request so that any potential lease break will be get processed by demultiplex thread while we're still caching @cfid. And, if open failed for some reason, re-check @cfid->haslease to decide whether or not put lease reference.

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade ubuntu/linux-azure-5.15 to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 5.15.0-1078.87~20.04.1
  2. Upgrade

    Upgrade ubuntu/linux-azure to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 5.15.0-1075.84
  3. Upgrade

    Upgrade ubuntu/linux-azure-fde to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 5.15.0-1076.85.1
  4. Upgrade

    Upgrade ubuntu/linux-nvidia-6.5 to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 6.5.0-1014.14
  5. Upgrade

    Upgrade ubuntu/linux-azure-fips to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 5.15.0-1075.84+fips1
  6. Compensating control

    In the Linux CIFS client, update open_cached_dir() so cfid->has_lease is set immediately before sending the compounded request, allowing the demultiplexing thread to process lease breaks while cfid is still cached; if opening fails, re-check cfid->has_lease before releasing the lease reference.
