Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix UAF in async decryption
Doing an async decryption (large read) crashes with a slab-use-after-free way down in the crypto API.
Reproducer:
mount.cifs -o …,seal,esize=1 //srv/share /mnt
dd if=/mnt/largefile of=/dev/null
…

This is because TFM is being used in parallel.
Fix this by allocating a new AEAD TFM for async decryption, but keep the existing one for synchronous READ cases (similar to what is done in smb3_calc_signature()).
Also remove the calls to aead_request_set_callback() and crypto_wait_req() since it’s always going to be a synchronous operation.
