In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: Don't log plaintext credentials in cifs_set_cifscreds When debug logging is enabled, cifs_set_cifscreds() logs the key payload and exposes the plaintext username and password. Remove the debug log to avoid exposing credentials. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block (SMB) client. When debug logging is enabled, the cifs_set_cifscreds() function logs plaintext credentials, including usernames and passwords. This information disclosure vulnerability allows a local attacker with access to the debug logs to retrieve sensitive authentication details. The primary consequence is the exposure of user credentials, which could lead to unauthorized access to SMB resources.
