What it is

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

smb: Don't leak cfid when reconnect races with open_cached_dir

open_cached_dir() may either race with the tcon reconnection even before

compound_send_recv() or directly trigger a reconnection via

SMB2_open_init() or SMB_query_info_init().

The reconnection process invokes invalidate_all_cached_dirs() via

cifs_mark_open_files_invalid(), which removes all cfids from the

cfids->entries list but doesn't drop a ref if has_lease isn't true. This

results in the currently-being-constructed cfid not being on the list,

but still having a refcount of 2. It leaks if returned from

open_cached_dir().

Fix this by setting cfid->has_lease when the ref is actually taken; the

cfid will not be used by other threads until it has a valid time.
