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

ksmbd: defer publishing granted locks to prevent UAF/double-free race

In smb2_lock(), mid-batch granted locks are published to connection-wide
(conn->lock_list) and file-wide (fp->lock_list) lists immediately upon
vfs_lock_file() success, while also remaining tracked on the stack-local
rollback_list.

If a subsequent element in the same SMB2_LOCK request array fails
validation or execution, the thread jumps to out: and walks
rollback_list to undo previously granted locks. However, because the
granted lock was already published to conn->lock_list, a concurrent
UNLOCK request on the same connection can find the lock object and
kfree() it before the rollback loop executes.

When the granting thread subsequently walks rollback_list, it
dereferences and frees the already-freed ksmbd_lock structure, resulting
in a Use-After-Free and Double-Free (on both ksmbd_lock and struct
file_lock).

Fix this by deferring the publication of granted locks to
conn->lock_list and fp->lock_list until after the entire array of lock
elements has been processed without error. Mid-batch grants remain
tracked exclusively on the request-local rollback_list until the whole
batch succeeds, eliminating the race window.
