Overview

About vulnerability

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.
