Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2022-48919 (Linux). CVSS 8.8 → 7.8 (NVD).
Description
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.
