A fix is available — apply it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in alloc_preauth_hash()

The Client send malformed smb2 negotiate request. ksmbd return error response. Subsequently, the client can send smb2 session setup even thought conn->preauth_info is not allocated. This patch add KSMBD_SESS_NEED_SETUP status of connection to ignore session setup request if smb2 negotiate phase is not complete.
