Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix early put of sink folio in netfs_read_gaps()
Fix netfs_read_gaps() to release the sink page it uses after waiting for
the request to complete. The way the sink page is used is that an
ITER_BVEC-class iterator is created that has the gaps from the target folio
at either end, but has the sink page tiled over the middle so that a single
read op can fill in both gaps.
The bug was found by KASAN detecting a UAF on the generic/075 xfstest in
the cifsd kernel thread that handles reception of data from the TCP socket:
