NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rv package and not the rv package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

cifs: Fix memory and information leak in smb3_reconfigure()

In smb3_reconfigure(), if smb3_sync_session_ctx_passwords() fails, the function returns immediately without freeing and erasing the newly allocated new_password and new_password2. This causes both a memory leak and a potential information leak.

Fix this by calling kfree_sensitive() on both password buffers before returning in this error case.
