In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix regression with native SMB symlinks Some users and customers reported that their backup/copy tools started to fail when the directory being copied contained symlink targets that the client couldnt parse - even when those symlinks werent followed. Fix this by allowing lstat(2) and readlink(2) to succeed even when the client cant resolve the symlink target, restoring old behavior.
