Summary

In the Linux kernel, a reference count leak was found in the SMB server's parse_durable_handle_context() function. When the command is a replay operation and -ENOEXEC is returned, the reference count of the ksmbd_file object is not released.

Risk Assessment

The reference count leak can lead to kernel memory exhaustion, potentially causing a denial of service (DoS) for the SMB server.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that resolves the reference count leak.
