Sicherheitslücken in cifs-utils

Cifs-utils: mount.cifs credential-file option injection allows local privilege boundary bypass

A flaw was found in cifs-utils. This flaw allows an unprivileged local user to achieve privilege escalation. When a privileged service mounts a Common Internet File System (CIFS) share using a user-controlled credentials file, input values are not properly sanitized before being assembled into mount options. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to inject unauthorized mount options, allowing them to bypass permission checks and execute files with administrative (root) privileges.

Cifs-utils: local privilege escalation via forged cifs.spnego key description in cifs.upcall

A flaw was found in the cifs-utils package where the cifs.upcall helper fails to securely drop its root privileges before looking up user information inside a user-controlled environment. A local, low privileged attacker can exploit this by using a crafted request_key payload to trick the root-owned helper into entering a custom environment (namespace) containing a malicious NSS module. This forces the system to load the attacker's controlled NSS Module and configuration, allowing them to execute arbitrary commands as the root user, elevating their privileges and fully compromising the system.

cifs-utils regression

USN-7536-1 fixed vulnerabilities in cifs-utils. This update introduced a regression in certain environments. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: It was discovered that cifs-utils incorrectly handled namespaces when obtaining Kerberos credentials. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.

cifs.upcall makes an upcall to the wrong namespace in containerized environments

A flaw was found in cifs-utils. When trying to obtain Kerberos credentials, the cifs.upcall program from the cifs-utils package makes an upcall to the wrong namespace in containerized environments. This issue may lead to disclosing sensitive data from the host's Kerberos credentials cache.

• Auf 2:6.9-1ubuntu0.3 aktualisieren

CVE-2022-29869

cifs-utils through 6.14, with verbose logging, can cause an information leak when a file contains = (equal sign) characters but is not a valid credentials file.

• Auf 2:6.9-1ubuntu0.2 aktualisieren

CVE-2022-27239

In cifs-utils through 6.14, a stack-based buffer overflow when parsing the mount.cifs ip= command-line argument could lead to local attackers gaining root privileges.

CVE-2021-20208

A flaw was found in cifs-utils in versions before 6.13. A user when mounting a krb5 CIFS file system from within a container can use Kerberos credentials of the host. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity.

• Auf 2:6.9-1ubuntu0.2 aktualisieren

CVE-2020-14342

It was found that cifs-utils' mount.cifs was invoking a shell when requesting the Samba password, which could be used to inject arbitrary commands. An attacker able to invoke mount.cifs with special permission, such as via sudo rules, could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
