CVE-2024-53185 (published 2024-12-27)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix NULL ptr deref in crypto_aead_setkey()

Neither SMB3.0 or SMB3.02 supports encryption negotiate context, so
when SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_ENCRYPTION flag is set in the negotiate response,
the client uses AES-128-CCM as the default cipher.  See MS-SMB2
3.3.5.4.

Commit b0abcd65ec54 ("smb: client: fix UAF in async decryption") added
a @server->cipher_type check to conditionally call
smb3_crypto_aead_allocate(), but that check would always be false as
@server->cipher_type is unset for SMB3.02.

Fix the following KASAN splat by setting @server->cipher_type for
SMB3.02 as well.

mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o vers=3.02,seal,...
