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

cifs: Fix memory leak when build ntlmssp negotiate blob failed

There is a memory leak when mount cifs:
  unreferenced object 0xffff888166059600 (size 448):
    comm "mount.cifs", pid 51391, jiffies 4295596373 (age 330.596s)
    hex dump (first 32 bytes):

When build ntlmssp negotiate blob failed, the session setup request
should be freed.
