Descriptions

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

smb: client: fix potential deadlock when releasing mids

All release_mid() callers seem to hold a reference of @mid so there is
no need to call kref_put(&mid->refcount, __release_mid) under
@server->mid_lock spinlock. If they don't, then an use-after-free bug
would have occurred anyways.

By getting rid of such spinlock also fixes a potential deadlock as
shown below

CPU 0 CPU 1
------------------------------------------------------------------
cifs_demultiplex_thread() cifs_debug_data_proc_show()
release_mid()
spin_lock(&server->mid_lock);
spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock)
spin_lock(&server->mid_lock)
__release_mid()
smb2_find_smb_tcon()
spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock) *deadlock*

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: smb: client: corrige un posible punto muerto al liberar mids. Todos los llamadores de release_mid() parecen tener una referencia de @mid, por lo que no hay necesidad de llamar a kref_put(&mid->refcount, __release_mid ) en @servidor->mid_lock spinlock. Si no lo hacen, de todos modos se habría producido un error de use after free. Al deshacerse de dicho bloqueo de giro, también se soluciona un posible punto muerto como se muestra a continuación CPU 0 CPU 1 -------------------------------- ---------------------------------- cifs_demultiplex_thread() cifs_debug_data_proc_show() release_mid() spin_lock(&servidor->mid_lock) ; spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock) spin_lock(&servidor->mid_lock) __release_mid() smb2_find_smb_tcon() spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock) *punto muerto*
