Critical (9.8). EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix missed ses refcounting
Use new cifs_smb_ses_inc_refcount() helper to get an active reference
of @ses and @ses->dfs_root_ses (if set). This will prevent
@ses->dfs_root_ses of being put in the next call to cifs_put_smb_ses()
and thus potentially causing an use-after-free bug.
