CVE-2024-53177 — smb: prevent use-after-free due to open_cached_dir error paths

Affected: Linux

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

smb: prevent use-after-free due to open_cached_dir error paths

If open_cached_dir() encounters an error parsing the lease from the server, the error handling may race with receiving a lease break, resulting in open_cached_dir() freeing the cfid while the queued work is pending.

Update open_cached_dir() to drop refs rather than directly freeing the cfid.

Have cached_dir_lease_break(), cfids_laundromat_worker(), and invalidate_all_cached_dirs() clear has_lease immediately while still holding cfids->cfid_list_lock, and then use this to also simplify the reference counting in cfids_laundromat_worker() and invalidate_all_cached_dirs().

Fixes this KASAN splat (which manually injects an error and lease break in open_cached_dir()):
