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.
