In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: use opener credentials for ADS I/O Alternate data streams are stored as xattrs. Unlike regular file I/O, their read and write paths therefore call VFS xattr helpers which recheck inode permissions and LSM policy using the current task credentials. Run ADS I/O with the credentials captured when the SMB handle was opened.

A flaw was found in ksmbd, the in-kernel Server Message Block (SMB) daemon. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions by incorrectly handling credentials for Alternate Data Streams (ADS) input/output (I/O) operations. Instead of using the credentials established when the SMB handle was opened, ksmbd uses the current task's credentials. This misconfiguration can lead to a bypass of inode permissions and Linux Security Module (LSM) policies, potentially resulting in privilege escalation and unauthorized access to system resources.
