CVE-2026-64392

A flaw was found in the ksmbd component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass filesystem permission checks during 'delete-on-close' operations. Specifically, when a file handle is torn down, the base-file unlink and extended attribute (xattr) removal operations incorrectly execute with ksmbd worker credentials instead of the original opener's credentials. This can lead to unauthorized deletion of files or removal of extended attributes, potentially compromising data integrity and availability.
