      "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsmb: client: pin DFS superblock in iterator callback\n\ntcon_super_cb() stores a raw superblock pointer, but __cifs_get_super()\ntakes its active reference only after iterate_supers_type() has dropped\ns_umount and its passive reference. Concurrent DFS automount expiry can\ntherefore free the superblock before cifs_sb_active() uses it.\n\nA deterministic KASAN test reproduces the race as:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in cifs_sb_active+0x77/0x80\n\nThe same test passes with this change applied.\n\nTake the active reference in the callback while iterate_supers_type()\nstill holds s_umount shared. cifs_put_tcp_super() remains the matching\nrelease."
