Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions cifs.spnego key descriptions contain authority-bearing fields such as pid, uid, creduid, and upcall_target that cifs.upcall treats as kernel-originating inputs. However, userspace can also create keys of this type through request_key(2) or add_key(2), allowing those fields to be supplied without CIFS origin. Only accept cifs.spnego descriptions while CIFS is using its private spnego_cred to request the key.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.24.1 < 5.10.258) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.209) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.175) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.142) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.92) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.34) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 7.0.11) • linux linux kernel 2.6.24 • linux linux kernel 7.1
