*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

A flaw was found in the way cifs handled iovecs with bogus pointers
userland passed down via writev() during uncached writes. An
unprivileged local user with access to cifs share could use this flaw to
crash the system or leak kernel memory. Privilege escalation cannot be
ruled out (since memory corruption is involved), but is unlikely.
