Summary

The ksmbd SMB server could overwrite ACL masks inherited from the parent directory, leading to widened effective permissions during object creation. The fix preserves original masks.

Risk Assessment

Risk of privilege escalation — unauthorized access to files or directories.

Recommendation

Update the kernel to prevent improper permission management.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: preserve VFS inherited POSIX ACL mask The VFS initializes a child's POSIX ACL from the parent's default ACL and the requested creation mode. Do not mutate the parent ACL or overwrite the child's VFS-computed access and default ACLs afterwards. This preserves restrictive ACL_MASK entries and prevents SMB object creation from widening effective permissions.
