Some of these operations may not be executed in\nparallel, so a system-wide lock is used.  The way that lock is acquired\nis, however, not providing any fairness.  This is CVE-2026-42489.\n\nFurthermore, with XSM/Flask in use, the lock acquire will, for some\noperations, occur ahead of any permission checking.  This is\nCVE-2026-42490."
