ksmbd kernel

The ksmbd kernel tag covers discussions about the Linux kernel's in-kernel SMB server implementation, known as ksmbd. Content focuses on security vulnerabilities such as CVE-2025-40084, which exposes a kernel defect in the ksmbd subsystem. This tag includes analysis of how Microsoft's Azure Linux may be affected by such vulnerabilities, given that Azure Linux includes the open-source ksmbd code. Topics also involve SMB protocol details, port references (445/139), and the broader implications for systems using ksmbd. The tag is relevant for those tracking kernel-level SMB server security issues and their impact on enterprise Linux distributions.
