Commit07d02a67b7causes a use-after free in the RPCSEC_GSS credential destroy code, because the call to get_rpccred() in gss_destroying_context() will now always fail to increment the refcount. While we could just replace the get_rpccred() with a refcount_set(), that would have the unfortunate consequence of resurrecting a credential in the credential cache for which we are in the process of destroying the RPCSEC_GSS context. Rather than do this, we choose to make a copy that is never added to the cache and use that to destroy the context.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
