Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix memory leak in cifs_construct_tcon()
When having a multiuser mount with domain= specified and using
cifscreds, cifs_set_cifscreds() will end up setting @ctx->domainname,
so it needs to be freed before leaving cifs_construct_tcon().
This fixes the following memory leak reported by kmemleak:
mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o domain=ZELDA,multiuser,...
su - testuser
cifscreds add -d ZELDA -u testuser
...
ls /mnt/1
...
umount /mnt
echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
unreferenced object 0xffff8881203c3f08 (size 8):
