CIFS: fix type confusion in copy offload ioctl
commit 4c17a6d5 upstream. This might lead to local privilege escalation (code execution as kernel) for systems where the following conditions are met: - CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 and CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX are enabled - a cifs filesystem is mounted where: - the mount option "vers" was used and set to a value >=2.0 - the attacker has write access to at least one file on the filesystem To attack this, an attacker would have to guess the target_tcon pointer (but guessing wrong doesn't cause a crash, it just returns an error code) and win a narrow race.
