Red Hat has released official security updates for Samba that address CVE-2026-1933. Users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 should apply the provided Samba package updates as described in the Red Hat advisories (RHSA-2026:22963 and RHSA-2026:22644). Patch status is confirmed as fixed in these updates. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official patches.
Description
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.
