Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix reference count leak in smb_check_perm_dacl()
The issue happens in a specific path in smb_check_perm_dacl(). When
"id" and "uid" have the same value, the function simply jumps out of
the loop without decrementing the reference count of the object
"posix_acls", which is increased by get_acl() earlier. This may
result in memory leaks.
Fix it by decreasing the reference count of "posix_acls" before
jumping to label "check_access_bits".
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.15 < 5.15.47)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 5.17.15)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.18 < 5.18.4)
