In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix UAF in smb2_reconnect_server()

The UAF bug is due to smb2_reconnect_server() accessing a session that
is already being teared down by another thread that is executing
__cifs_put_smb_ses().  This can happen when (a) the client has
connection to the server but no session or (b) another thread ends up
setting @ses->ses_status again to something different than
SES_EXITING.

To fix this, we need to make sure to unconditionally set
@ses->ses_status to SES_EXITING and prevent any other threads from
setting a new status while we're still tearing it down.

The following can be reproduced by adding some delay to right after
the ipc is freed in __cifs_put_smb_ses() - which will give
smb2_reconnect_server() worker a chance to run and then accessing
@ses->ipc:

kinit ...
mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt/1 -o sec=krb5,nohandlecache,echo_interval=10
[disconnect srv]
ls /mnt/1 &>/dev/null
sleep 30
kdestroy
[reconnect srv]
sleep 10
umount /mnt/1
...
