CVE-2024-46796 (Moderate severity, published 2024-09-17)
CVSS score: 6.6 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H)
CWE: CWE-416
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix double put of @cfile in smb2_set_path_size()

If smb2_compound_op() is called with a valid @cfile and returned
-EINVAL, we need to call cifs_get_writable_path() before retrying it
as the reference of @cfile was already dropped by previous call.

This fixes the following KASAN splat when running fstests generic/013
against Windows Server 2022:

  CIFS: Attempting to mount //w22-fs0/scratch

Statement: The bug could happen for the existing connection with fail for the SMB client. Means that impossible to crack server with this, but instead incorrect data from server can lead to the crash of client. The security impact is limited.
Mitigation: To mitigate this issue, prevent module cifs from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
