RHBA-2026:6836 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An update for cifs-utils is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Description

The SMB/CIFS protocol is a standard file sharing protocol widely deployed on Microsoft Windows machines. The cifs-utils packages contain tools for mounting shares on Linux using the SMB/CIFS protocol. The tools in this package work in conjunction with support in the kernel to allow one to mount a SMB/CIFS share onto a client and use it as if it were a standard Linux file system.

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

• [RHEL9 CIFS]: access return "Permission denied" after cifscreds when mount with multiuser [rhel-9.7.z] (JIRA:RHEL-131406)
• Enable ciffs.upcall to enable debug logs [rhel-9.7.z] (JIRA:RHEL-146305)
