Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: validate request buffer size in smb2_allocate_rsp_buf() The response buffer should be allocated in smb2_allocate_rsp_buf
before validating request. But the fields in payload as well as smb2 header
is used in smb2_allocate_rsp_buf(). This patch add simple buffer size
validation to avoid potencial out-of-bounds in request buffer.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ksmbd: validar el tamaño del búfer de solicitud en smb2_allocate_rsp_buf() El búfer de respuesta debe asignarse en smb2_allocate_rsp_buf antes de validar la solicitud. Pero los campos en el payload y el encabezado smb2 se usan en smb2_allocate_rsp_buf(). Este parche agrega una validación simple del tamaño del búfer para evitar posibles límites en el búfer de solicitud.

Benedict Schlüter, Supraja Sridhara, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that an untrusted hypervisor could inject malicious #VC interrupts and compromise the security guarantees of AMD SEV-SNP. This flaw is known as WeSee. A local attacker in control of the hypervisor could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly execute arbitrary code in the trusted execution environment. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
