The global durable\nfile-table lock still protects the durable reconnect claim, but\nfp->owner.name is per-open state and does not need to block unrelated\ndurable table lookups or reconnects.  The teardown is left at its\nexisting location after the reopen-success point so that an __open_id()\nrollback still retains owner.name for a later legitimate reconnect to\nverify.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/38637163501fd9e2f684b8cd275d0db5d79f37c6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a5ac2852cd326529d02f778bc1aa6184701f4d7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/93d4d46bf9d442a12ea87278049ec416962c627f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ed98719be41389d416953b8ef9f07a07dfea6b2b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fb978d72052704c6b06c6b0f129fcd60b77169f5"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72381","score":0.00652,"percentile":0.51272,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
