Performing verification for jammy.

I set up a fresh jammy VM with the same reproducer as documented in 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2099914

The kernel is the latest 5.15.0-140-generic from -updates.

$ uname -rv
5.15.0-140-generic #150-Ubuntu SMP Sat Apr 12 06:00:09 UTC 2025

cifs-utils is 2:6.14-1ubuntu0.1 from -updates.

$ apt-cache policy cifs-utils | grep Installed
cifs-utils:
  Installed: 2:6.14-1ubuntu0.1

We kinit and get a tgt:

Mount the cifs share:

root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu# mount -t cifs -o
cruid=root,user=root,sec=krb5i,uid=0,gid=0,cred=/tmp/krb5cc_0 //samba-
dc.example.com/demo /mnt/testshare1

We now have a service ticket:

root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu# klist
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0
Default principal: [email protected]

        renew until 05/24/25 04:21:01
        Ticket server: cifs/[email protected]

Unmount the share:

root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu# umount /mnt/testshare1

Perform some kerberos credential case surgery to remove the TGT:

root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu# cd python-krb5ccparse/
root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu/python-krb5ccparse# ./kremovetkt -c /tmp/krb5cc_0 -o 
/tmp/removed -p krbtgt/[email protected]

Lets see if it is successful:

root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu/python-krb5ccparse# kdestroy
root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu/python-krb5ccparse# mv /tmp/removed /tmp/krb5cc_0

        renew until 05/24/25 04:21:01
        Ticket server: cifs/[email protected]

We only have service ticket now, so try mount the share:

root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu/python-krb5ccparse# mount -t cifs -o 
cruid=root,user=root,sec=krb5i,uid=0,gid=0,cred=/tmp/krb5cc_0 
//samba-dc.example.com/demo /mnt/testshare1
mount error(126): Required key not available
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log 
messages (dmesg)

We fail, due to cifs-utils in -release not seeing a TGT, and backing out, even
though we have a valid cifs service ticket.

I then enabled -security-proposed:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-security-proposed/ppa

and installed cifs-utils 2:6.14-1ubuntu0.2

I then attempted the mount:

The filesystem is mounted correctly.

I also did a mount with both TGT and service ticket:

root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu/python-krb5ccparse# umount /mnt/testshare1
root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu/python-krb5ccparse# kdestroy
root@jammy-dc:/home/ubuntu/python-krb5ccparse# kinit

        renew until 05/24/25 04:25:54
        Ticket server: cifs/[email protected]

The filesystem is again mounted correctly, so no regressions with both TGT and
service ticket either.

The package in -proposed fixes the issue. Happy to mark jammy as
verified.
