Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

在 Linux 内核中，已修复以下漏洞： smb/server：当 proc 初始化失败时中止后续初始化过程 在创建其余 proc 条目和服务器子系统之前，会先调用 。若 procfs 或 percpu_counter 分配失败， 会清除已创建的部分状态，但因为它返回类型是 ， 会像计数器仍然可用一样继续执行。 当用户空间启动服务器后， 会调用 ，进而在 SMP 系统上以 NULL 的 per-CPU 计数器指针调用 。随后调用 时，父目录指针为 NULL，可能导致条目被创建在 根目录下；而 无法移除这些条目，因为

Vulnerability Title
smb/server: abort initialization when proc setup fails
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb/server: abort initialization when proc setup fails ksmbd_server_init() calls ksmbd_proc_init() before creating the remaining proc entries and server subsystems. ksmbd_proc_init() tears down partial state on a procfs or percpu_counter allocation failure, but returns void, so ksmbd_server_init() continues as if the counters were usable. Once userspace starts the server, server_ctrl_handle_init() calls ksmbd_proc_reset(), which reaches percpu_counter_set() with a NULL per-CPU counters pointer on SMP systems. The later ksmbd_proc_create() calls also receive a NULL parent and may create entries in the /proc root; ksmbd_proc_cleanup() cannot remove those entries because ksmbd_proc_fs is NULL.
