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

ksmbd: fix use-after-free from async crypto on Qualcomm crypto engine

ksmbd_crypt_message() sets a NULL completion callback on AEAD requests
and does not handle the -EINPROGRESS return code from async hardware
crypto engines like the Qualcomm Crypto Engine (QCE). When QCE returns
-EINPROGRESS, ksmbd treats it as an error and immediately frees the
request while the hardware DMA operation is still in flight. The DMA
completion callback then dereferences freed memory, causing a NULL
pointer crash:

  pc : qce_skcipher_done+0x24/0x174
  lr : vchan_complete+0x230/0x27c
  ...
  el1h_64_irq+0x68/0x6c
  ksmbd_free_work_struct+0x20/0x118 [ksmbd]
  ksmbd_exit_file_cache+0x694/0xa4c [ksmbd]

Use the standard crypto_wait_req() pattern with crypto_req_done() as
the completion callback, matching the approach used by the SMB client
in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c. This properly handles both synchronous
engines (immediate return) and async engines (-EINPROGRESS followed
by callback notification).
