Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
smb: prevent use-after-free due to open_cached_dir error paths<br />
<br />
If open_cached_dir() encounters an error parsing the lease from the<br />
server, the error handling may race with receiving a lease break,<br />
resulting in open_cached_dir() freeing the cfid while the queued work is<br />
pending.<br />
<br />
Update open_cached_dir() to drop refs rather than directly freeing the<br />
cfid.<br />
<br />
Have cached_dir_lease_break(), cfids_laundromat_worker(), and<br />
invalidate_all_cached_dirs() clear has_lease immediately while still<br />
holding cfids->cfid_list_lock, and then use this to also simplify the<br />
reference counting in cfids_laundromat_worker() and<br />
invalidate_all_cached_dirs().<br />
<br />
Fixes this KASAN splat (which manually injects an error and lease break<br />
in open_cached_dir()):<br />
<br />
