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

smb: client: close completed creates on compound wait errors

compound_send_recv() waits for responses in order. If a later wait is
interrupted, or if a later MID fails during response synchronization, an
earlier CREATE may already have opened a remote handle. The earlier mid
is then released without invoking handle_cancelled_mid(), leaving the
remote handle open because no FID was copied to the caller.

Mark completed earlier mids as cancelled when a compound wait or MID
synchronization aborts. Keep their response buffers attached while the
MIDs are synchronized, and transfer them only after synchronization of
the processed responses, so the release path can inspect successful
CREATE responses and queue SMB2_close() after a later failure. Account for
a remote open only after the close work is allocated and before it is
queued, since the caller has not yet updated num_remote_opens. Mark the
create+close compound used by smb2_unlink() so it is not closed again.
Non-CREATE responses and compounds that already include a close keep their
existing behavior.
