CVE-2026-23427

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: fix use-after-free in durable v2 replay of active file handles

parse_durable_handle_context() unconditionally assigns dh_info->fp->conn
to the current connection when handling a DURABLE_REQ_V2 context with
SMB2_FLAGS_REPLAY_OPERATION. ksmbd_lookup_fd_cguid() does not filter by
fp->conn, so it returns file handles that are already actively connected.
The unconditional overwrite replaces fp->conn, and when the overwriting
connection is subsequently freed, __ksmbd_close_fd() dereferences the
stale fp->conn via spin_lock(&fp->conn->llist_lock), causing a
use-after-free.
