Hello,

Thanks for your reports. Given that you sent this to a public list
(linux-cifs), there's no need to Cc security@ since our role is to
route non-public issues to the relevant maintainers and help them
coordinate a fix with the reporter.

With that said, for your 3 reports, it would certainly help and save
maintainers' time if you could propose a fix that can be applied. If
accepted it would give you credit for finding and fixing these bugs.
For guidance on how to write patches, please see
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.

Regarding any reproducer, usually maintainers appreciate them, but
please send them privately only (i.e. not to a public list).

thanks,
Willy
