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.

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.
