CVE-2026-90171 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: smbdirect: release pending child sockets outside the handler lock smbdirect_socket_destroy() releases the listener's pending/ready child sockets while still holding the listener's handler lock, the &id_priv->handler_mutex taken via rdma_lock_handler(), not sc->listen.lock, and before the listener's own rdma_destroy_id(). That ordering has one real consequence and one cosmetic one. The real one: smbdirect_socket_release() drops the child's last reference, which destroys the child's cm_id. Doing that before the listener's rdma_destroy_id() lets _cma_cancel_listens(), running from the listener's _destroy_id(), walk an already freed child id_priv, which KASAN catches as a slab-use-after-free during listener shutdown: [ 4758.909130] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __mutex_lock+0x1469/0x1560 [ 4758.911450] Read of size 1 at addr ffff88821c381db4 by task ksmbd.control/1652 [ 4758.913262] Call Trace: [ 4758.913267] <TASK> [ 4758.913299] __mutex_lock+0x1469/0x1560 [ 4758.913408] _cma_cancel_listens+0x312/0x3b0 [ 4758.913413] _destroy_id+0x363/0xee0 [ 4758.913417] smbdirect_socket_destroy_sync+0x17d5/0x2440 [ 4758.913443] smbdirect_socket_release+0x124/0x230 [ 4758.913451] ksmbd_rdma_stop_listening+0x9f/0x190 [ 4758.913457] ksmbd_conn_transport_destroy+0x65/0x3c0 [ 4758.913463] kill_server_store+0x1fb/0x2b0 [ 4758.913501] kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x349/0x4d0 [ 4758.913507] vfs_write+0x5e7/0xc70 [ 4758.913528] ksys_write+0x12a/0x210 [ 4758.913541] do_syscall_64+0x135/0x460 [ 4758.913555] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f The cosmetic one: releasing a child recurses into smbdirect_socket_destroy(), which takes the child's own rdma_lock_handler() lock nested under the listener's. The listener's and the child's cm_id are always different instances, so this cannot deadlock for real; the CM core itself nests a new connection id's handler_mutex under the listening id's in cma_ib_req_handler(). But lockdep only sees one lock class, reports possible recursive locking, and then disables itself, hiding real locking bugs for the rest of the run: [ 2424.579653] WARNING: possible recursive locking detected [ 2424.581180] 7.1.0-next-20260623+ #89 Not tainted [ 2424.582548] -------------------------------------------- [ 2424.584500] ksmbd.control/8854 is trying to acquire lock: [ 2424.586817] ffff888102303c20 (&id_priv->handler_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: smbdirect_socket_destroy_sync+0xc39/0x2440 [ 2424.590590] [ 2424.590590] but task is already holding lock: [ 2424.591601] ffff888102046c20 (&id_priv->handler_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: smbdirect_socket_destroy_sync+0xc39/0x2440 [ 2424.594178] [ 2424.594178] other info that might help us debug this: [ 2424.596634] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 2424.596634] [ 2424.598841] CPU0 [ 2424.599765] ---- [ 2424.600695] lock(&id_priv->handler_mutex); [ 2424.601836] lock(&id_priv->handler_mutex); [ 2424.602590] [ 2424.602590] *** DEADLOCK *** [ 2424.602590] [ 2424.604512] May be due to missing lock nesting notation Splice the pending/ready children onto a local list under the listener's listen.lock, while the handler lock is held so a concurrent CM CONNECT_REQUEST cannot add more, but defer the actual smbdirect_socket_release() calls until after the listener's cm_id has been destroyed and its handler lock dropped. The children are independent sockets whose teardown needs neither the listener's handler lock nor its cm_id. Found with ksmbdzzer [2], a KSMBD fuzzer that drives libFuzzer with a kcov-dataflow [1] coverage vector: it folds each instrumented comparison/argument's runtime operand value together with its PC (the default arm mixes them as pc⊕val) so that a new operand value at a known site counts as new coverage.
