Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions
cifs.spnego key descriptions contain authority-bearing fields such as
pid, uid, creduid, and upcall_target that cifs.upcall treats as
kernel-originating inputs. However, userspace can also create keys of
this type through request_key(2) or add_key(2), allowing those fields to
be supplied without CIFS origin.
Only accept cifs.spnego descriptions while CIFS is using its private
spnego_cred to request the key.
