Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-64392)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-64392). Data can be tampered with by attackers.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: use opener credentials for delete-on-close
Delete-on-close can be completed by deferred or durable handle teardown,
where no request work is available. Both the base-file unlink and the ADS
xattr removal consequently run with the ksmbd worker credentials and can
bypass filesystem permission checks.
Run both operations with the credentials captured in struct file when the
handle was opened. This preserves the authenticated user's fsuid, fsgid,
supplementary groups and capability restrictions at final close.
