DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53046
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free from async crypto on Qualcomm crypto engine ksmbdcryptmessage() sets a NULL completion callback on AEAD requests and does not handle the -EINPROGRESS return code from async hardware crypto engines like the Qualcomm Crypto Engine (QCE). When QCE returns -EINPROGRESS, ksmbd treats it as an error and immediately frees the request while the hardware DMA operation is still in flight. The DMA completion callback then dereferences freed memory, causing a NULL pointer crash: pc : qceskcipherdone+0x24/0x174 lr : vchancomplete+0x230/0x27c ... el1h64irq+0x68/0x6c ksmbdfreeworkstruct+0x20/0x118 [ksmbd] ksmbdexitfilecache+0x694/0xa4c [ksmbd] Use the standard cryptowaitreq() pattern with cryptoreq_done() as the completion callback, matching the approach used by the SMB client in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c. This properly handles both synchronous engines (immediate return) and async engines (-EINPROGRESS followed by callback notification).
