Created: Jan 26, 2026    Updated: Jan 28, 2026
Found In Version: 10.24.33.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 24
Component/s: Kernel

Description

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

cifs: Fix memory and information leak in smb3_reconfigure()

In smb3_reconfigure(), if smb3_sync_session_ctx_passwords() fails, the
function returns immediately without freeing and erasing the newly
allocated new_password and new_password2. This causes both a memory leak
and a potential information leak.

Fix this by calling kfree_sensitive() on both password buffers before
returning in this error case.
