| Updated: 2025-05-11

Vulnerability identifier: #VU105671

Vulnerability risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-58087

CWE-ID: CWE-667

Exploitation vector: Local

Exploit availability: No

Vulnerable software:
Linux kernel
Operating systems & Components / Operating system

Vendor: Linux Foundation

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the check_session_id(), smb2_check_user_session(), smb2_sess_setup(), smb2_session_logoff() and smb3_decrypt_req() functions in fs/ksmbd/smb2pdu.c, within the ksmbd_session_lookup() and ksmbd_session_lookup_slowpath() functions in fs/ksmbd/mgmt/user_session.c, within the ksmbd_get_encryption_key() function in fs/ksmbd/auth.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
