There is a race condition in the readdir concurrency process, which may access the rsp buffer after it has been released, triggering the following KASAN warning.

POC is available in the link [1].

The problem triggering process is as follows:

Process 1 Process 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------- cifs_readdir /* file->private_data == NULL */ initiate_cifs_search cifsFile = kzalloc(sizeof(struct cifsFileInfo), GFP_KERNEL); smb2_query_dir_first ->query_dir_first() SMB2_query_directory SMB2_query_directory_init cifs_send_recv smb2_parse_query_directory srch_inf->ntwrk_buf_start = (char *)rsp; srch_inf->srch_entries_start = (char *)rsp + ... srch_inf->last_entry = (char *)rsp + ... srch_inf->smallBuf = true; find_cifs_entry /* if (cfile->srch_inf.ntwrk_buf_start) */ cifs_small_buf_release(cfile->srch_inf // free

cifs_readdir ->iterate_shared() /* file->private_data != NULL */ find_cifs_entry /* in while (...) loop */ smb2_query_dir_next ->query_dir_next() SMB2_query_directory SMB2_query_directory_init cifs_send_recv compound_send_recv smb_send_rqst __smb_send_rqst rc = -ERESTARTSYS; /* if (fatal_signal_pending()) */ goto out; return rc /* if (cfile->srch_inf.last_entry) */ cifs_save_resume_key() cifs_fill_dirent // UAF /* if (rc) */ return -ENOENT;

Fix this by ensuring the return code is checked before using pointers from the srch_inf.
