CVE-2022-49938 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cifs: fix small mempool leak in SMB2_negotiate()

In some cases of failure (dialect mismatches) in SMB2_negotiate() after the request is sent the checks would return -EIO when they should be rather setting rc = -EIO and jumping to neg_exit to free the response buffer from mempool.
