NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek64k-modules-wireless package and not the kernel-uek64k-modules-wireless package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

smb: server: fix leak of active_num_conn in ksmbd_tcp_new_connection()

On kthread_run() failure in ksmbd_tcp_new_connection(), the transport is freed via free_transport(), which does not decrement active_num_conn, leaking this counter.

Replace free_transport() with ksmbd_tcp_disconnect().
