What this means
Samba's vfs_ceph_rgw module has an access control bypass flaw, allowing authenticated users to read or overwrite restricted files on shares configured with this module due to incorrect case-insensitive lookup. The vulnerability affects Samba version 4.25.0. An attacker can bypass access controls by requesting an existing file with mismatched character casing.

cpe:/a:redhat:openshift:5What to do
Compare your installed product and version with the affected versions above. A matching product name alone does not confirm exposure.
Only shares configured with the vfs_ceph_rgw module are affected.
To mitigate this vulnerability, disable the experimental vfs_ceph_rgw module on any configured Samba shares. Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to remove ceph_rgw from the vfs objects setting under the relevant share sections, then reload the Samba service:
systemctl reload smb
Warning: Reloading or restarting the smb service may briefly interrupt active client sessions. Additionally, removing this module disables Ceph RGW integration for the affected shares.
Setting case sensitive = yes on affected shares avoids the vulnerability, because the differently-cased name is then treated as a distinct object rather than resolving to the existing file.
Note: This changes share behavior for clients that rely on case-insensitive name handling.

Description revised
before
An access control bypass flaw was found in Samba's vfs_ceph_rgw module in it's openat() function. An authenticated user can bypass access controls to read or overwrite restricted files on shares configured with the experimental vfs_ceph_rgw module. When a client requests an existing file using mismatched character casing, the module fails to perform a case-insensitive lookup correctly, causing the server to treat the operation as creating a new file. As a result, the server skips standard permission checks on the existing file, allowing the attacker to access or overwrite sensitive data owned by other users.
