CVE-2026-64382 is a double-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel SMB client code during SMB2_open() replay handling. The flaw occurs when a response-bearing attempt returns a replayable error and frees its response buffer, but a subsequent failure in SMB2_open_init() happens before the next send operation. In that state, cleanup can retain stale response bookkeeping, including the previous buffer type, and free the same response buffer a second time. The upstream fix resets response bookkeeping before each attempt to prevent the stale free condition.
