CVE-2026-1933  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:26.04 samba to version 2:4.23.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba package and not the samba package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:26.04 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.
