Use After Free Affecting kernel-rt-debug package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-debug package and not the kernel-rt-debug package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

cifs: Fix use-after-free in rdata->read_into_pages()

When the network status is unstable, use-after-free may occur when read data from the server.

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in readpages_fill_pages+0x14c/0x7e0

The following function calls will cause UAF of the rdata pointer.

readpages_fill_pages cifs_read_page_from_socket cifs_readv_from_socket cifs_reconnect __cifs_reconnect cifs_abort_connection mid->callback() --> smb2_readv_callback queue_work(&rdata->work) # if the worker completes first, # the rdata is freed cifs_readv_complete kref_put cifs_readdata_release kfree(rdata) return rdata->... # UAF in readpages_fill_pages()

Similarly, this problem also occurs in the uncache_fill_pages().

Fix this by adjusts the order of condition judgment in the return statement.
