use-after-free in smb2_is_status_io_timeout()
CVE: CVE-2023-1192
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-416
Severity: Low
CVSS v3: 6.7/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2023-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

A use-after-free flaw was found in smb2_is_status_io_timeout() in CIFS in the Linux Kernel. After CIFS transfers response data to a system call, there are still local variable points to the memory region, and if the system call frees it faster than CIFS uses it, CIFS will access a free memory region, leading to a denial of service.

Statement: Because analysis indicates that this issue will only cause momentary interruptions to connections, Red Hat rates the impact of this flaw as Low.
