Descriptions

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

ksmbd: fix slab out of bounds write in smb_inherit_dacl()

slab out-of-bounds write is caused by that offsets is bigger than pntsd
allocation size. This patch add the check to validate 3 offsets using
allocation size.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ksmbd: corrige la escritura fuera de los límites de slab en smb_inherit_dacl(). La escritura fuera de los límites de slab se debe a que las compensaciones son mayores que el tamaño de asignación de pntsd. Este parche agrega la verificación para validar 3 compensaciones usando el tamaño de asignación.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Linux Kernel. Authentication may or may not be required to exploit this vulnerability, depending upon configuration. Furthermore, only systems with ksmbd enabled are vulnerable.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of ACL attributes. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the kernel.
