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

smb: client: fix use-after-free in smb2_query_info_compound()

The following UAF was triggered when running fstests generic/072 with

KASAN enabled against Windows Server 2022 and mount options

'multichannel,max_channels=2,vers=3.1.1,mfsymlinks,noperm'

This is a race between open_cached_dir() and cached_dir_lease_break()

where the cache entry for the open directory handle receives a lease

break while creating it. And before returning from open_cached_dir(),

we put the last reference of the new @cfid because of

!@cfid->has_lease.

Besides the UAF, while running xfstests a lot of missed lease breaks

have been noticed in tests that run several concurrent statfs(2) calls

on those cached fids

CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test No task to wake, unknown frame...

CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test Cmd: 18 Err: 0x0 Flags: 0x1...

CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test smb buf 00000000715bfe83 len 108

CIFS: VFS: Dump pending requests:

CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test No task to wake, unknown frame...

CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test Cmd: 18 Err: 0x0 Flags: 0x1...

CIFS: VFS: \\w22-root1.gandalf.test smb buf 000000005aa7316e len 108

...

To fix both, in open_cached_dir() ensure that @cfid->has_lease is set

right before sending out compounded request so that any potential

lease break will be get processed by demultiplex thread while we're

still caching @cfid. And, if open failed for some reason, re-check

@cfid->has_lease to decide whether or not put lease reference.
