CVE-2024-46736: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix double put of @cfile in smb2_rename_path() If smb2_set_path_attr() is called with a valid @cfile and returned -EINVAL, we need to call cifs_get_writable_path() again as the reference of @cfile was already dropped by previous smb2_compound_op() call.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.6.32, before 6.6.51 (fixed in 6.6.51); from 6.9, before 6.10.10 (fixed in 6.10.10); version 6.11 only
