Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
smb: client: Fix refcount leak for cifs_sb_tlink<br />
<br />
Fix three refcount inconsistency issues related to `cifs_sb_tlink`.<br />
<br />
Comments for `cifs_sb_tlink` state that `cifs_put_tlink()` needs to be<br />
called after successful calls to `cifs_sb_tlink()`. Three calls fail to<br />
update refcount accordingly, leading to possible resource leaks.
