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 upcalltarget that cifs.upcall treats as kernel-originating inputs. However,...

CVE-2026-46243 smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions

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 upcalltarget that cifs.upcall treats as kernel-originating inputs. However,...

The vulnerability of the cifs_get_spnego_key() function in the cifs.upcall tool of the cifs-utils package in Linux kernel allows a attacker to elevate their privileges to root and execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability of the cifsgetspnegokey function in the cifs.upcall tool of the cifs-utils package in Linux kernel systems is related to the lack of authentication for the critical function. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to elevate their privileges to root and execute...

CVE-2026-45983

In CVE-2026-45983, the Linux kernel NFS server (nfsd) vulnerability stems from idmap lookup upcalls during v4 request decoding: if upcall responses are delayed beyond the time limit, cache_check() postpones the request and it gets dropped, causing NFSD4_SLOT_INUSE to block subsequent SEQUENCE ope...

CVE-2026-45870

CVE-2026-45870 affects the Linux kernel’s SUNRPC auth_gss path. The issue is memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths caused by gssx_dec_ctx(), gssx_dec_status(), and gssx_dec_name() allocating buffers via gssx_dec_buffer()/kmemdup() and returning on error without freeing previously allocated mem...
