UBUNTU-CVE-2026-43350: High severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Published May 8, 2026
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: require a full NFS mode SID before reading mode bits parsedacl() treats an ACE SID matching sidunixNFSmode as an NFS mode SID and reads sid.subauth[2] to recover the mode bits. That assumes the ACE carries three subauthorities, but comparesids() only compares min(a, b) subauthorities. A malicious server can return an ACE with numsubauth = 2 and subauth[] = {88, 3}, which still matches sidunixNFSmode and then drives the subauth[2] read four bytes past the end of the ACE. Require numsubauth >= 3 before treating the ACE as an NFS mode SID. This keeps the fix local to the special-SID mode path without changing comparesids() semantics for the rest of cifsacl.
