How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:8 samba-pidl to version 0:4.15.5-16.el8_6.1 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2026:28057.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba-pidl package and not the samba-pidl package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Samba’s handling of NTFS-style reparse points on shares configured with read only = yes. Due to missing SMB-layer access checks, authenticated users with underlying filesystem write permissions may create or delete reparse point metadata through SMB operations even on read-only exports. This could allow modification of SMB-visible file behavior, including converting files into symbolic links or other reparse point types.
