Overview

CVE-2026-93210 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 24, 2026.

Technical description

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

smb: client: harden DFS cache against invalid target hints

Currently, get_tgt_name() returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) when ce->tgthint is

NULL, and dfs_cache_noreq_update_tgthint() assumes ce->tgthint is always

valid.

In preparation for clearing ce->tgthint in free_tgts(), harden callers

of get_tgt_name() against ERR_PTR results and harden

dfs_cache_noreq_update_tgthint() against NULL pointer dereferences.
