CVE-2011-1585

Publication date 6 October 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The cifs_find_smb_ses function in fs/cifs/connect.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly determine the associations between users and sessions, which allows local users to bypass CIFS share authentication by leveraging a mount of a share by a different user.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that CIFS incorrectly handled authentication. When a user had a CIFS share mounted that required authentication, a local user could mount the same share without knowing the correct password.
