In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ksmbd: fix path resolution in ksmbdvfskernpathcreate  The SMB2 open lookup is rooted at the share with LOOKUPBENEATH, but the create/mkdir/hardlink sink is not: ksmbdvfskernpathcreate() builds an absolute path with converttounixname() and resolves it from ATFDCWD via startcreatingpath(), so a ".." component is walked from the real filesystem root and escapes the export.  An authenticated client races a missing path component so the rooted open lookup returns -ENOENT (taking the create branch) while the same component is present (a directory) when the create walk runs; the create then resolves ".." out of the share.  Root the create walk at the share like the lookup and rename paths already are: resolve the parent with vfspathparentlookup(..., LOOKUPBENEATH, &shareconf->vfspath) and create the final component with startcreatingnoperm(). converttounixname() then has no callers and is removed.
