CVE-2026-23230 HIGH

Published: 2026-02-18 | Last Modified: 2026-06-02 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: split cached_fid bitfields to avoid shared-byte RMW races is_open, has_lease and on_list are stored in the same bitfield byte in struct cached_fid but are updated in different code paths that may run concurrently. Bitfield assignments generate byte read–modify–write operations (e.g. `orb $mask, addr` on x86_64), so updating one flag can restore stale values of the others. A possible interleaving is: CPU1: load old byte (has_lease=1, on_list=1) CPU2: clear both flags (store 0) CPU1: RMW store (old | IS_OPEN) -> reintroduces cleared bits To avoid this class of races, convert these flags to separate bool fields.

Additional Descriptions (1)

Se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad en el kernel de Linux: smb: cliente: dividir los campos de bits de cached_fid para evitar condiciones de carrera RMW de bytes compartidos is_open, has_lease y on_list se almacenan en el mismo byte de campo de bits en la estructura cached_fid, pero se actualizan en diferentes rutas de código que pueden ejecutarse concurrentemente. Las asignaciones de campos de bits generan operaciones de lectura-modificación-escritura de bytes (p. ej., 'orb $mask, addr' en x86_64), por lo que al actualizar una bandera (flag) se puede restaurar valores obsoletos de las otras. Una posible intercalación es: CPU1: carga el byte antiguo (has_lease=1, on_list=1) CPU2: borra ambas banderas (almacena 0) CPU1: almacena RMW (old | IS_OPEN) -> reintroduce los bits borrados Para evitar esta clase de condiciones de carrera, hay que convertir estas banderas a campos bool separados.
