{"id":"AZL-55573","summary":"CVE-2024-53179 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.76.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsmb: client: fix use-after-free of signing key\n\nCustomers have reported use-after-free in @ses-\u003eauth_key.response with\nSMB2.1 + sign mounts which occurs due to following race:\n\ntask A                         task B\ncifs_mount()\n dfs_mount_share()\n  get_session()\n   cifs_mount_get_session()    cifs_send_recv()\n    cifs_get_smb_ses()          compound_send_recv()\n     cifs_setup_session()        smb2_setup_request()\n      kfree_sensitive()           smb2_calc_signature()\n                                   crypto_shash_setkey() *UAF*\n\nFix this by ensuring that we have a valid @ses-\u003eauth_key.response by\nchecking whether @ses-\u003eses_status is SES_GOOD or SES_EXITING with\n@ses-\u003eses_lock held.  After commit 24a9799aa8ef (\"smb: client: fix UAF\nin smb2_reconnect_server()\"), we made sure to call -\u003elogoff() only\nwhen @ses was known to be good (e.g. valid -\u003eauth_key.response), so\nit's safe to access signing key when @ses-\u003eses_status == SES_EXITING.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:18:39.883989Z","published":"2024-12-27T14:15:25Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-53179"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-53179"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.76.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-55573.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
