CVE-2025-39932
- Published: 2025-10-04T08:15:45.953
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: let smbd_destroy() call disable_work_sync(&info->post_send_credits_work)
In smbd_destroy() we may destroy the memory so we better
wait until post_send_credits_work is no longer pending
and will never be started again.
I actually just hit the case using rxe:

It means rxe_post_recv was called after rdma_destroy_qp().
This happened because put_receive_buffer() was triggered
by ib_drain_qp() and called:
queue_work(info->workqueue, &info->post_send_credits_work);
