In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: add a WRITE_DAC/WRITE_OWNER check to SMB2 SET_INFO SECURITY
commit cc57232cae23 ("ksmbd: fix FSCTL permission bypass by adding a
permission check for FSCTL_SET_SPARSE") added a fp->daccess gate to
fsctl_set_sparse and noted that "similar handle-level checks exist in other
functions but are missing here." The SMB2 SET_INFO SECURITY arm is one of
the missing ones, and the most security-relevant: smb2_set_info_sec() calls
set_info_sec() with no per-handle access check.
set_info_sec() (fs/smb/server/smbacl.c) re-permissions the file: it
rewrites owner/group/mode via notify_change(), rewrites the POSIX ACL via
set_posix_acl(), and on KSMBD_SHARE_FLAG_ACL_XATTR shares removes and
rewrites the Windows security descriptor via ksmbd_vfs_set_sd_xattr().
Every other persistent-mutation arm of the sibling handler
smb2_set_info_file() checks fp->daccess first (FILE_WRITE_DATA /
FILE_DELETE / FILE_WRITE_EA / FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES); the SECURITY arm —
which mutates the access control itself — is the only one with no gate.
A client can therefore open a handle with FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES only (no
FILE_WRITE_DAC / FILE_WRITE_OWNER) and use SMB2_SET_INFO with InfoType
SMB2_O_INFO_SECURITY to rewrite the file's DACL and owner, granting itself
access the handle's daccess never carried. Unlike the FSCTL data arms this
is a metadata/xattr operation, so there is no FMODE_WRITE VFS backstop —
the missing fp->daccess check is the entire gate.
Setting a security descriptor is the WRITE_DAC / WRITE_OWNER operation, so
require at least one of those on the handle before re-permissioning the
file. -EACCES is mapped to STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED by smb2_set_info().

kernel: ksmbd: add a WRITE_DAC/WRITE_OWNER check to SMB2 SET_INFO SECURITY
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd component. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass intended access controls. By opening a file handle with limited write attributes, an attacker can use the SMB2 SET_INFO SECURITY operation to rewrite the file's access control list (DACL) and owner. This enables the attacker to grant themselves unauthorized permissions, leading to privilege escalation and potential unauthorized access to sensitive file operations.
