[PATCH 6.9 065/143] cifs: fix setting SecurityFlags to true

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



6.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steve French <stfrench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d2346e2836318a227057ed41061114cbebee5d2a upstream.

If you try to set /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags to 1 it
will set them to CIFSSEC_MUST_NTLMV2 which no longer is
relevant (the less secure ones like lanman have been removed
from cifs.ko) and is also missing some flags (like for
signing and encryption) and can even cause mount to fail,
so change this to set it to Kerberos in this case.

Also change the description of the SecurityFlags to remove mention
of flags which are no longer supported.
