MEDIUM 4.3EPSS 1.77%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.77%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10. SMB2_read in fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c has a use-after-free. NOTE: this was not fixed correctly in 5.0.10; see the 5.0.11 ChangeLog, which documents a memory leak.
