In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: remove all cifs files before kill super
Cifs files may be put into fileinfo_put_wq during umounting cifs.
After umount done, cifsFileInfo_put_final is called, which cause
following BUG:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
