Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-25 12:31 – Updated: 2026-07-27 06:30

Details

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

smb/client: fix chown/chgrp with SMB3 POSIX Extensions

Ownership (chown) and group (chgrp) modifications were being ignored when mounting with SMB3 POSIX Extensions unless CIFS_MOUNT_CIFS_ACL or CIFS_MOUNT_MODE_FROM_SID were also explicitly set.

Fix this by checking for posix_extensions in cifs_setattr_nounix() when updating UID and GID, ensuring that id_mode_to_cifs_acl() is called to map and set the ownership/group information on the server.

Severity

7.8 (High)
