    Added Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ksmbd: Fix dangling pointer in krb_authenticate

    krb_authenticate frees sess->user and does not set the pointer
    to NULL. It calls ksmbd_krb5_authenticate to reinitialise
    sess->user but that function may return without doing so. If
    that happens then smb2_sess_setup, which calls krb_authenticate,
    will be accessing free’d memory when it later uses sess->user.
