CVE-2026-64379 is a Linux kernel SMB client vulnerability in the modefromsid handling path. When modefromsid is enabled, the SMB client function parse_dacl() copies the server-provided sub_auth[2] value from the NFS mode SID into cf_mode without masking it to 07777. This causes the client to trust and apply mode bits outside the expected Unix permission mask. The fix constrains the imported mode value with a 07777 mask, aligning this path with the existing read-path behavior. The flaw affects permission-mode handling rather than a memory-safety primitive.
