Summary

In the Linux kernel, SMB client has a double-free vulnerability in SMB2_open() replay. A response-bearing attempt can free its buffer, and if SMB2_open_init() fails before the next send, cleanup frees the same buffer again. The fix resets response bookkeeping before each attempt.

Risk Assessment

Double-free can cause memory corruption, system crashes, or potential exploitation for privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing this fix to prevent double-free in SMB2_open replay.
