Public bug reported: kubuntu 19.10 with kernel 5.3.0-29-generic and64.
This looks like a regression in the kernel CIFS module after the 4.15 & 5.0 kernels. These earlier kernels follow the DFS referrals without error. The problem: - Use mount.cifs with kerberos authentication to mount a samba server hosting a DFS root. You will get a KRB ticket for the "dfs_root" machine. - Attempt to access a host a host via a DFS referral (call this "target_host") - Access will fail with "Permission Denied". - Use Wireshark to monitor CIFS and KRB traffic. - The kernel attempts to authenticate to "target_host" using the KRB ticket for "dfs_root". Note: - A DFS target running Win2008R2 will reply with STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED, then the kernel will get a KRB ticket for "target_host" and use it. The connection is then successful. - A DFS target running Samba 4.7.6 will reply with STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. The connection fails. Expected Result: - Successful connection. - The kernel should get a KRB ticket for "target_host" and use it. (This is what kernels 4.15 and 5.0 do [and a Windows client]) ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1862858 Title: CIFS acesses DFS referral with wrong Kerberos ticket To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1862858/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
