What to Know

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. (NVD)

What to Do

Monitor Linux, Red Hat, and Siemens's web pages for any future patch releases.
