Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-01 15:30 – Updated: 2026-05-06 21:31

Details

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

smb: client: fix dir separator in SMB1 UNIX mounts

When calling cifs_mount_get_tcon() with SMB1 UNIX mounts, @cifs_sb->mnt_cifs_flags needs to be read or updated only after calling reset_cifs_unix_caps(), otherwise it might end up with missing CIFS_MOUNT_POSIXACL and CIFS_MOUNT_POSIX_PATHS bits.

This fixes the wrong dir separator used in paths caused by the missing CIFS_MOUNT_POSIX_PATHS bit in cifs_sb_info::mnt_cifs_flags.

Severity ?

5.5 (Medium)
