"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-46796 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix double put of @cfile
    in smb2_set_path_size() If smb2_compound_op() is called with a valid @cfile and returned -EINVAL, we need
    to call cifs_get_writable_path() before retrying it as the reference of @cfile was already dropped by
    previous call. This fixes the following KASAN splat when running fstests generic/013 against Windows
    Server 2022: CIFS: Attempting to mount //w22-fs0/scratch run fstests generic/013 at 2024-09-02 19:48:59
