CVE-2026-64391

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.
