Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-64390)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-64390). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: track the connection owning a byte-range lock
SMB2_LOCK adds each granted byte-range lock to both the file lock list
and the lock list of the connection which handled the request. The
final close and durable handle paths, however, remove the connection
list entry while holding fp->conn->llist_lock.
With SMB3 multichannel, the connection handling the LOCK request can be
different from the connection which opened the file. The entry can
therefore be removed under a different spinlock from the one protecting
the list it belongs to. A concurrent traversal can then access freed
struct ksmbd_lock and struct file_lock objects.
Record the connection owning each lock's clist entry and hold a
reference to it while the entry is linked. Use that connection and its
llist_lock for unlock, rollback, close, and durable preserve. Durable
reconnect assigns the new connection as the owner when publishing the
locks again.

CVE-2026-64390 (Linux kernel) — CVSS v3 8.8
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / no user interaction
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
