CVE-2011-1585: Linux Kernel

Low severity, CVSS 3.3. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: before 2.6.36 (fixed in 2.6.36)
• Suse Suse Linux Enterprise Server: version 10 only
