Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix use-after-free of
signing key Customers have reported use-after-free in @ses->auth_key.response with SMB2.1 + sign mounts
which occurs due to following race: task A task B cifs_mount() dfs_mount_share() get_session()
cifs_mount_get_session() cifs_send_recv() cifs_get_smb_ses() compound_send_recv() cifs_setup_session()
smb2_setup_request() kfree_sensitive() smb2_calc_signature() crypto_shash_setkey() *UAF* Fix this by
ensuring that we have a valid @ses->auth_key.response by checking whether @ses->ses_status is SES_GOOD or
SES_EXITING with @ses->ses_lock held. After commit 24a9799aa8ef ("smb: client: fix UAF in
smb2_reconnect_server()"), we made sure to call ->logoff() only when @ses was known to be good (e.g. valid
->auth_key.response), so it's safe to access signing key when @ses->ses_status == SES_EXITING.
