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

ksmbd: fix use-after-free of share_conf in compound request

smb2_get_ksmbd_tcon() reuses work->tcon in compound requests without
validating tcon->t_state. ksmbd_tree_conn_lookup() checks t_state ==
TREE_CONNECTED on the initial lookup path, but the compound reuse path
bypasses this check entirely.

If a prior command in the compound (SMB2_TREE_DISCONNECT) sets t_state
to TREE_DISCONNECTED and frees share_conf via ksmbd_share_config_put(),
subsequent commands dereference the freed share_conf through
work->tcon->share_conf.
