RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

Attempting to mount a share from an EMC Celerra using kerberos authentication
with hmac_md5 fails at our site. Sniffing on the network shows that the
NAS returns RPC_NT_INVALID_BINDING even though tickets could successfully
be obtained by cifs.upcall. Password-based authentication works when
'sec=krb5' is removed from the mount options.

It seems that the bug that we are running into is this recently discovered
problem in cifs-utils:

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-cifs@vger.kernel.org/msg02167.html

Could you please apply these patches to the cifs-utils of RHEL6?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL6 workstation, up2date.


How reproducible:

Configure krb5.conf to only use hmac_md5 (or use an 2008R2 AD server without
backward compatibility for weak crypto). 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Get a ticket as the user used for authentication (someuser)
2. Run mount.cifs as root with arguments like this:

mount.cifs -o user=someuser,uid=33333,gid=33333,sec=krb5 //server/share /mnt
  

Actual results:

mount error(5): Input/output error


Expected results:

Should mount the share.
