Title
smb/client: fix chown/chgrp with SMB3 POSIX Extensions
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb/client: fix chown/chgrp with SMB3 POSIX Extensions Ownership (chown) and group (chgrp) modifications were being ignored when mounting with SMB3 POSIX Extensions unless CIFS_MOUNT_CIFS_ACL or CIFS_MOUNT_MODE_FROM_SID were also explicitly set. Fix this by checking for posix_extensions in cifs_setattr_nounix() when updating UID and GID, ensuring that id_mode_to_cifs_acl() is called to map and set the ownership/group information on the server.

The attacker need not create the mount.\nUI:N - The attacker can invoke the syscall directly and exploit continued rights or falsely cached ownership through automated services without human action.\nS:U - The defect affects resources governed through the vulnerable kernel and mounted share without escaping a VM, sandbox, or other distinct security authority.\nC:H - Because the intended ownership change never reaches the server, the prior owner or group can retain read access to an entire data tree believed to have been transferred or revoked.\nI:H - The prior owner can retain arbitrary modification rights, while falsely cached privileged ownership can cause privileged consumers to trust or execute attacker-controlled content.\nA:H - Retained ownership of writable files or directories can permit truncation or deletion of an entire service data tree, and privileged execution through false ownership can cause a complete outage."
