Description

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

smb: client: fix use-after-free of signing key

Customers have reported use-after-free in @ses->auth_key.response with
SMB2.1 + sign mounts which occurs due to following race:

task A task B
cifs_mount()
dfs_mount_share()
get_session()
cifs_mount_get_session() cifs_send_recv()

cifs_get_smb_ses()          compound_send_recv()
 cifs_setup_session()        smb2_setup_request()
  kfree_sensitive()           smb2_calc_signature()
                               crypto_shash_setkey() *UAF*

Fix this by ensuring that we have a valid @ses->auth_key.response by
checking whether @ses->ses_status is SES_GOOD or SES_EXITING with
@ses->ses_lock held. After commit 24a9799aa8ef (“smb: client: fix UAF
in smb2_reconnect_server()”), we made sure to call –>logoff() only
when @ses was known to be good (e.g. valid –>auth_key.response), so
it’s safe to access signing key when @ses->ses_status == SES_EXITING.
