Pull smb client updates from Paulo Alcantara: - clear sensitive data after use (stack and heap cryptographic keys/hashes) - file size and cache synchronization fixes (fscache cookie serialization and truncation handling) - protocol validation and buffer safety fixes (prevent OOB access and loff_t underflow) - metadata and POSIX attribute fixes (proper hard-link counts and setuid/setgid stripping) - DFS cache and unmount fixes (prevent target-hint UAF and unmount hangs) - general client improvements (fix read request leaks, stats loops, handle servers that don't support O_TMPFILE) * tag 'cifs-fixes-7.3-rc1' of https://git.manguebit.org/linux: (33 commits) cifs: fix loff_t underflow in cifs_remap_file_range() when len == 0 smb: client: reject a tree connect response whose byte count is too small cifs: call pagecache_isize_extended() in cifs_setsize() when extending smb: client: fix copy-paste error in WSL EA length accounting for $LXDEV smb: client: remove redundant NULL check before kfree() smb: client: restore the data_offset bound in is_valid_oplock_break() cifs: clear tcon after cifsFileInfo_put() in cifs_file_set_size() smb: client: Avoid leaking sensitive data to the heap in connect.c smb: client: Clear sensitive stack data in smb1encrypt.c smb: client: Clear sensitive stack data in cifsencrypt.c smb: client: Clear sensitive stack and heap data in smb2ops.c smb: client: Clear sensitive stack data in smb2transport.c Revert "cifs: remove all cifs files before kill super" smb: client: fix use-before-check of ReparseDataLength in reparse_buf_ptr() smb: client: fix ALIGN() overflow in symlink_data() error context loop smb: client: simplify __build_path_from_dentry_optional_prefix() smb: client: fix UAF and buffer leak in cifs_check_trans2() for malformed secondary T2 smb: client: fix OOB read/write from unvalidated DataOffset in coalesce_t2() smb/client: decode reparse metadata using its payload type smb/client: preserve open info type across compound queries ...
Linux kernel ============ The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware, system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.
