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

cifs: Fix use-after-free in rdata->read_into_pages()

When the network status is unstable, use-after-free may occur when

read data from the server.

The following function calls will cause UAF of the rdata pointer.

readpages_fill_pages

cifs_read_page_from_socket

cifs_readv_from_socket

cifs_reconnect

__cifs_reconnect

cifs_abort_connection

mid->callback() --> smb2_readv_callback

queue_work(&rdata->work) # if the worker completes first,

# the rdata is freed

cifs_readv_complete

kref_put

cifs_readdata_release

kfree(rdata)

return rdata->... # UAF in readpages_fill_pages()

Similarly, this problem also occurs in the uncache_fill_pages().

Fix this by adjusts the order of condition judgment in the return

statement.
