In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: iscsi: Fix race in discovery auth updates
Separate configfs opens can concurrently update the discovery AuthMethod

iscsi_update_param_value(), causing a double-free.
Protect the lookup and replacement with the discovery TPG access lock,
as used by the other TPG configfs parameter updates.
