📋 Description

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

configfs: fix lockless traversals of ->s_children

Having the parent directory locked protects entries from removal by another thread, but it does not protect cursors from being moved around by lseek() - or freed, for that matter.
