Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
smb: Don&#39;t leak cfid when reconnect races with open_cached_dir<br />
<br />
open_cached_dir() may either race with the tcon reconnection even before<br />
compound_send_recv() or directly trigger a reconnection via<br />
SMB2_open_init() or SMB_query_info_init().<br />
<br />
The reconnection process invokes invalidate_all_cached_dirs() via<br />
cifs_mark_open_files_invalid(), which removes all cfids from the<br />
cfids->entries list but doesn&#39;t drop a ref if has_lease isn&#39;t true. This<br />
results in the currently-being-constructed cfid not being on the list,<br />
but still having a refcount of 2. It leaks if returned from<br />
open_cached_dir().<br />
<br />
Fix this by setting cfid->has_lease when the ref is actually taken; the<br />
cfid will not be used by other threads until it has a valid time.<br />
<br />
