Comment:

 This fixes CIFSSwitch (CVE-2026-46243), another local privilege escalation
 issue.

 https://github.com/manizada/CIFSwitch has a working exploit

 and a writeup can be found at https://heyitsas.im/posts/cifswitch/

 Marked as High per upstream CVE rating.

 Note that users must have cifs-utils installed to be exploitable, but we
 do carry that package in BLFS.
