Description

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

smb: client: fix double put of @CFILE in smb2_set_path_size()

If smb2_compound_op() is called with a valid @CFILE and returned
-EINVAL, we need to call cifs_get_writable_path() before retrying it
as the reference of @CFILE was already dropped by previous call.

This fixes the following KASAN splat when running fstests generic/013
against Windows Server 2022:

CIFS: Attempting to mount //w22-fs0/scratch

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
