UBUNTU-CVE-2025-2312: Medium severity ubuntu/cifs-utils vulnerability
A flaw was found in cifs-utils. When trying to obtain Kerberos credentials, the cifs.upcall program from the cifs-utils package makes an upcall to the wrong namespace in containerized environments. This issue may lead to disclosing sensitive data from the host's Kerberos credentials cache.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Which environments are exposed to this issue?
The issue affects containerized environments where cifs.upcall attempts to obtain Kerberos credentials. In that situation, it can make its upcall to the wrong namespace and expose sensitive data from the host Kerberos credentials cache.
What access or conditions does an attacker need to exploit it?
Exploitation requires local access and high attack complexity, according to the provided CVSS vector. No privileges or user interaction are required, but the vulnerable Kerberos credential retrieval path in a containerized environment must be reachable.
What is the potential impact?
Sensitive data from the host's Kerberos credentials cache may be disclosed. The provided vector indicates high confidentiality impact, with no integrity or availability impact.
