It's unfortunately a regression in the CVE fix. We are trying to come up
with a proper fix.

In the meantime, as a workaround:

* you can build cifs-utils --with-libcap=yes (libcap instead of libcapng). This will skip
  capability dropping in cifs.upcall.c.
* Alternatively you can comment out the call to trim_capabilities() in
  cifs.upcall.c.
