Descriptions

An issue was discovered in ksmbd in the Linux kernel 5.15 through 5.19 before 5.19.2. fs/ksmbd/smb2misc.c has an out-of-bounds read and OOPS for SMB2_TREE_CONNECT.

Se descubrió un problema en ksmbd en el kernel de Linux 5.15 a 5.19 anterior a 5.19.2. fs/ksmbd/smb2misc.c tiene una lectura fuera de los límites y OOPS para SMB2_TREE_CONNECT.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to create a denial-of-service condition on affected installations of Linux Kernel. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of SMB2_TREE_CONNECT commands. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition on the system.
