Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
smb: client: fix dir separator in SMB1 UNIX mounts<br />
<br />
When calling cifs_mount_get_tcon() with SMB1 UNIX mounts,<br />
@cifs_sb->mnt_cifs_flags needs to be read or updated only after<br />
calling reset_cifs_unix_caps(), otherwise it might end up with missing<br />
CIFS_MOUNT_POSIXACL and CIFS_MOUNT_POSIX_PATHS bits.<br />
<br />
This fixes the wrong dir separator used in paths caused by the missing<br />
CIFS_MOUNT_POSIX_PATHS bit in cifs_sb_info::mnt_cifs_flags.
