Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: avoid double-free in smbd_free_send_io() after smbd_send_batch_flush() smbd_send_batch_flush() already calls smbd_free_send_io(), so we should not call it again after smbd_post_send() moved it to the batch list.
