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

ksmbd: fix UAF of struct file_lock in SMB2_LOCK deferred-lock cancellation

When a blocking byte-range lock request is deferred in the
FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED path, ksmbd registers the asynchronous work into
the connection's async_requests list via setup_async_work(). The cancel
callback smb2_remove_blocked_lock() holds a reference to the flock.

If the lock waiter is subsequently woken up but the work state is no
longer KSMBD_WORK_ACTIVE (e.g., due to a concurrent cancellation), the
cleanup path calls locks_free_lock(flock) without dequeuing the work from
the async_requests list. Concurrently, smb2_cancel() walks the list
under conn->request_lock and invokes the cancel callback, which then
dereferences the already freed 'flock'. This leads to a slab-use-after-free
inside __wake_up_common.

Fix this by restructuring the cleanup logic after the worker returns
from ksmbd_vfs_posix_lock_wait(). Move list_del(&smb_lock->llist) and
release_async_work(work) to the top of the cleanup block. This guarantees
that the async work is completely dequeued and serialized under
conn->request_lock before locks_free_lock(flock) is called, rendering
the flock unreachable for any concurrent smb2_cancel().
