CVE-2024-35868 is a potential use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel SMB/CIFS client’s cifs_stats_proc_write() function. The affected path can process a session while that session is being torn down. The upstream fix skips sessions in the SES_EXITING state, preventing access to session state that may already have been freed.
