A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is the function sess_free_buffer of the file fs/cifs/sess.c of the component CIFS Handler. The manipulation leads to double free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211364.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
The product calls free() twice on the same memory address.
