CVE-2024-35870 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel SMB/CIFS client. The smb2_reconnect_server() worker can access an SMB session while another thread is tearing it down in __cifs_put_smb_ses(), including accessing an already-freed IPC object. The race can occur when the client has a server connection but no session, or when another thread changes ses->ses_status away from SES_EXITING during teardown. Triggering the vulnerability can cause a kernel general-protection fault.
