How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 rv.

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:

smb: client: clear ce->tgthint in free_tgts()

When free_tgts() frees all structures in ce->tlist, ce->tgthint is left pointing to one of the freed cache_dfs_tgt structures.

If ce->tgthint is not reset before it is used later, it results in a use-after-free.

Set ce->tgthint to NULL in free_tgts() after the elements are freed to reflect that no elements remain.
