In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix UAF issue in ksmbd_tcp_new_connection() The race is between the handling of a new TCP connection and its disconnection. It leads to UAF on `struct tcp_transport` in ksmbd_tcp_new_connection() function.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
