Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: fix out of bounds in init_smb2_rsp_hdr()

If client send smb2 negotiate request and then send smb1 negotiate
request, init_smb2_rsp_hdr is called for smb1 negotiate request since
need_neg is set to false. This patch ignore smb1 packets after ->need_neg
is set to false.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ksmbd: corrección fuera de los límites en init_smb2_rsp_hdr() Si el cliente envía una solicitud de negociación smb2 y luego envía una solicitud de negociación smb1, se llama a init_smb2_rsp_hdr para la solicitud de negociación smb1 ya que need_neg está configurado en falso. Este parche ignora los paquetes smb1 después de que ->need_neg se establece en falso.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Linux Kernel. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. However, only systems with ksmbd enabled are vulnerable.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of SMB2 negotiate requests. 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 in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.
