Descriptions

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

smb: client: fix UAF in async decryption

Doing an async decryption (large read) crashes with a
slab-use-after-free way down in the crypto API.

Reproducer:
# mount.cifs -o ...,seal,esize=1 //srv/share /mnt
# dd if=/mnt/largefile of=/dev/null

This is because TFM is being used in parallel.

Fix this by allocating a new AEAD TFM for async decryption, but keep
the existing one for synchronous READ cases (similar to what is done
in smb3_calc_signature()).

Also remove the calls to aead_request_set_callback() and
crypto_wait_req() since it's always going to be a synchronous operation.
