Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52911)

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote user to access another user's session.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in ksmbd_session_lookup_all() when processing a binding SESSION_SETUP request. A remote user can send a crafted session lookup request to access another user's session.

The issue occurs because a connection-wide binding flag can remain set after a binding SESSION_SETUP, allowing the global session lookup path to resolve sessions not bound to that connection.
