CVE-2025-37899 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ksmbd in-kernel SMB server. A race exists during SMB2 LOGOFF processing: a worker handling logoff can free the session's user object while another ksmbd worker, including one processing session setup to bind to that session, continues to use that object. The resulting dereference of freed kernel memory can cause memory corruption.
