CVE-2026-98174

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

smb: client: fix rlist race and missing initialization

TCP_Server_Info.rlist is allocated via kzalloc which zeros both ->next

and ->prev to NULL instead of pointing to itself, making list_empty()

always return false and list_add() dereference a NULL ->prev pointer.

Also, cifs_signal_cifsd_for_reconnect() can be called concurrently

from multiple cifsd threads, allowing the same server's rlist node to

be added twice into the local list, corrupting it.
