CVE-2026-64384 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix change notify replay double-free A response-bearing attempt can return a replayable error and free its response buffer. If SMB2_notify_init() fails before the next send, cleanup retains the previous buffer type and frees that response again. Reset response bookkeeping before each attempt to prevent the stale free.
A double-free vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's SMB2 client implementation. This issue arises when a response-bearing attempt encounters a replayable error, leading to the unintentional freeing of its response buffer. If the function 'SMB2_notify_init()' fails before the next transmission, the cleanup process retains the previous buffer type and erroneously frees that response again. To address this, the response bookkeeping should be reset before each attempt, preventing the stale free. This vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel stable tree, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
