CVE-2026-23230
EUVD-2026-767118.02.2026, 16:22
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: split cached_fid bitfields to avoid shared-byte RMW races
is_open, has_lease and on_list are stored in the same bitfield byte in
struct cached_fid but are updated in different code paths that may run
concurrently. Bitfield assignments generate byte read–modify–write
operations (e.g. `orb $mask, addr` on x86_64), so updating one flag can
restore stale values of the others.
A possible interleaving is:
CPU1: load old byte (has_lease=1, on_list=1)
CPU2: clear both flags (store 0)
CPU1: RMW store (old | IS_OPEN) -> reintroduces cleared bits
To avoid this class of races, convert these flags to separate bool
fields.EnginsightAffected Products (NVD)
