Vendor / product: Linux — linux kernel

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: server: avoid double-free in smb_direct_free_sendmsg after smb_direct_flush_send_list() smb_direct_flush_send_list() already calls smb_direct_free_sendmsg(), so we should not call it again after post_sendmsg() moved it to the batch list.
