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

cifs: remove all cifs files before kill super

Cifs files may be put into fileinfo_put_wq during umounting cifs. After umount done, cifsFileInfo_put_final is called, which cause following BUG:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 ...
