Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-06 13:10:12 UTC

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

smb: client: prevent races in ->query_interfaces()

It was possible for two query interface works to be concurrently trying
to update the interfaces.

Prevent this by checking and updating iface_last_update under
iface_lock.
