Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-01 15:30 – Updated: 2026-05-03 09:33

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: validate owner of durable handle on reconnect

Currently, ksmbd does not verify if the user attempting to reconnect to a durable handle is the same user who originally opened the file. This allows any authenticated user to hijack an orphaned durable handle by predicting or brute-forcing the persistent ID.

According to MS-SMB2, the server MUST verify that the SecurityContext of the reconnect request matches the SecurityContext associated with the existing open. Add a durable_owner structure to ksmbd_file to store the original opener's UID, GID, and account name. and catpure the owner information when a file handle becomes orphaned. and implementing ksmbd_vfs_compare_durable_owner() to validate the identity of the requester during SMB2_CREATE (DHnC).

Severity ?

8.8 (High)
