CVE-2026-43378

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Specifically, within the Server Message Block (SMB) server component, a use-after-free vulnerability exists in the `smb2_open()` function. This issue arises when an `opinfo` pointer is accessed after its memory has been deallocated, creating a window for potential memory corruption. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.
