Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2022-48919)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2022-48919). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: fix double free race when mount fails in cifs_get_root()
When cifs_get_root() fails during cifs_smb3_do_mount() we call
deactivate_locked_super() which eventually will call delayed_free() which
will free the context.
In this situation we should not proceed to enter the out: section in
cifs_smb3_do_mount() and free the same resources a second time.
