CVE-2022-48919 (published 2024-08-22)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cifs: fix double free race when mount fails in cifs_get_root()

When cifs_get_root() fails during cifs_smb3_do_mount() we call
deactivate_locked_super() which eventually will call delayed_free() which
will free the context.
In this situation we should not proceed to enter the out: section in
cifs_smb3_do_mount() and free the same resources a second time.
