AnalysisCVE.org

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

smb: client: reject userspace cifs.idmap descriptions

cifs.idmap key descriptions carry authority-bearing fields (owner and group SIDs and uid/gid values in "os:"/"gs:"/"oi:"/"gi:" form) that the cifs.idmap upcall helper treats as kernel-originating inputs. Unlike its sibling cifs.spnego, the cifs.idmap key type has no vet_description hook, so userspace can create keys of this type through request_key(2)/add_key(2) and supply those fields without CIFS origin. A request_key(2) call with a non-NULL callout then drives a root usermodehelper upcall (/sbin/request-key -> cifs.idmap) that consumes the unvetted description in root context.

Only accept cifs.idmap descriptions while CIFS is using its private root_cred to request the key. id_to_sid()/sid_to_id() already run under override_creds(root_cred), so the kernel-originated path is unaffected.

This mirrors commit 3da1fdf4efbc ("smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions"), which applied the same restriction to cifs.spnego.

What every action level means

Emergency Immediate action required. Criteria: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited) without patch, OR CRITICAL + EPSS > 30% without patch, OR CRITICAL + active threat signals without patch.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Criteria: in KEV with patch available, OR CRITICAL + public POC, OR HIGH + EPSS > 10%, OR CRITICAL + active threat, OR any CRITICAL severity.

This Week Schedule remediation this week. Criteria: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9). Patch within normal change window.

This Month Plan within 30 days. Criteria: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9), lower exploitation probability. Include in regular patch cycle.

Monitor Track and reassess. Criteria: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9), minimal exploitation risk. No immediate action needed.

Attack Technique

Information Disclosure MEDIUM

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
