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

cifs: clear tcon after cifsFileInfo_put() in cifs_file_set_size()

When the else branch of cifs_file_set_size() finds a writable file handle
via find_writable_file(), it borrows tcon and server from the handle's
tlink, attempts the handle-based set_file_size() RPC, and then releases
the handle with cifsFileInfo_put().

If set_file_size() fails, execution falls through to the path-based
fallback, which reuses the borrowed tcon and server under the
"if (tcon == NULL)" guard.  Since tcon is not NULL at that point, the
guard is skipped.  If cifsFileInfo_put() dropped the last reference on a
tlink that was already removed from the tlink tree (TCON_LINK_IN_TREE
cleared, as happens during reconnection or session teardown),
cifs_put_tlink() will have freed tcon; the subsequent set_path_size()
call is then a use-after-free.

Setting tcon = NULL after cifsFileInfo_put() causes the existing guard
to take the cifs_sb_tlink() path, which acquires a fresh reference for
the path-based operation or fails cleanly if the session is gone.
