Remediation

Source guidance available

Review the recorded instructions. Guidance may be a workaround rather than a fixed version.

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.

Summarized by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast. Verify details against the original sources.

Automatic dependency matching is unavailable for this record. Use the product evidence and publisher’s instructions to check your installation.

What 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.

Public exploit evidence

No public exploit reference is identified in the imported evidence. This is not a claim that no exploit exists.

Original source description

Read the full publisher description

An access control bypass flaw was identified 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.

    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.
