CVE-2026-98114

ksmbd: propagate DACL parsing errors

Published Sep 25, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: propagate DACL parsing errors

parse_dacl() silently accepts truncated ACEs and allocation failures,
allowing set_info_sec() to continue with an incomplete ACL conversion.

Return parsing and allocation errors to parse_sec_desc() so malformed
security descriptors are rejected before inode attributes or ACL xattrs
are updated.
