Description

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

smb: client: fix warning when reconnecting channel

When reconnecting a channel in smb2_reconnect_server(), a dummy tcon
is passed down to smb2_reconnect() with ->query_interface
uninitialized, so we can't call queue_delayed_work() on it.

Fix the following warning by ensuring that we're queueing the delayed
worker from correct tcon.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
