Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published
2024-05-01 05:18
Modified
2026-08-05 11:28
Severity ?
8.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix slab-out-of-bounds in smb_strndup_from_utf16() If ->NameOffset of smb2_create_req is smaller than Buffer offset of smb2_create_req, slab-out-of-bounds read can happen from smb2_open. This patch set the minimum value of the name offset to the buffer offset to validate name length of smb2_create_req().

No local access to the target is needed.\\nAC:L - A single hand-crafted CREATE request deterministically triggers it \\u2014 set NameOffset=0, a large NameLength, and CreateContextsOffset/Length such that name_off+name_len \u003c ctx_off+ctx_len; there is no race, no memory-layout luck, and the attacker even chooses the kvmalloc size (pdu_size) that selects the adjacent slab or forces a page-aligned allocation next to a guard page.\\nPR:L - SMB2_CREATE is dispatched only after smb2_check_user_session() finds a valid SessionId and smb2_get_ksmbd_tcon() resolves a live tree connect, so the attacker needs an established SMB session \\u2014 which on the common NAS/embedded ksmbd deployment is satisfied by any ordinary user account or a guest-enabled share.\\nUI:N - The attacker\u0027s own authenticated SMB connection drives the entire sequence; no administrator or local user on the target has to take any action.\\nS:U - The out-of-bounds slab read and any resulting fault occur entirely within the kernel\u0027s own security authority, crossing no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\\nC:H - Up to ~120 bytes of adjacent kernel slab memory are read past conn-\u003erequest_buf, in a slab cache the attacker selects by choosing the RFC1002 pdu_size, and the leaked bytes are converted into the filename used by smb2_open() \\u2014 so with FILE_CREATE the attacker can create a file named with kernel heap contents and read it back via SMB2_QUERY_DIRECTORY, yielding repeatable remote kernel memory disclosure well beyond a few bounded bytes.\\nI:N - The defect is strictly an over-read in smb_utf16_bytes()/smb_from_utf16(); nothing is written out of bounds and no kernel state is corrupted on this path.\\nA:H - The read crosses the end of the kvmalloc\u0027d request buffer, and because the attacker controls the allocation size exactly it can be made to land on a vmalloc guard page for an unrecoverable kernel page fault, while KASAN/KFENCE/MTE kernels report and panic under panic_on_warn=1 or kasan.fault=panic; the request can be replayed at will from new connections.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf\", \"lessThan\": \"d70c2e0904ab3715c5673fd45788a464a246d1db\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf\", \"lessThan\": \"9e4937cbc150f9d5a9b5576e1922ef0b5ed2eb72\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf\", \"lessThan\": \"3b8da67191e938a63d2736dabb4ac5d337e5de57\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf\", \"lessThan\": \"4f97e6a9d62cb1fce82fbf4baff44b83221bc178\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf\", \"lessThan\": \"a80a486d72e20bd12c335bcd38b6e6f19356b0aa\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"fs/smb/server/smb2misc.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"5.15\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"5.15\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.1.119\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.32\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.7.12\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.7.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.8.3\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.8.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.9\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"fs/smb/server/smb2misc.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d70c2e0904ab3715c5673fd45788a464a246d1db\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9e4937cbc150f9d5a9b5576e1922ef0b5ed2eb72\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3b8da67191e938a63d2736dabb4ac5d337e5de57\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4f97e6a9d62cb1fce82fbf4baff44b83221bc178\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a80a486d72e20bd12c335bcd38b6e6f19356b0aa\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nksmbd: fix slab-out-of-bounds in smb_strndup_from_utf16()\\n\\nIf -\u003eNameOffset of smb2_create_req is smaller than Buffer offset of\\nsmb2_create_req, slab-out-of-bounds read can happen from smb2_open.\\nThis patch set the minimum value of the name offset to the buffer offset\\nto validate name length of smb2_create_req().\"}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.1.119\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"5.15\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.6.32\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"5.15\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.7.12\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"5.15\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.8.3\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"5.15\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.9\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"5.15\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\", \"shortName\": \"Linux\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-08-05T11:28:35.439Z\"}}}",
