Severity ?
8.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb/client: fix possible infinite loop and oob read in symlink_data() On 32-bit architectures, the infinite loop is as follows: len = p->ErrorDataLength == 0xfffffff8 u8 *next = p->ErrorContextData + len next == p On 32-bit architectures, the out-of-bounds read is as follows: len = p->ErrorDataLength == 0xfffffff0 u8 *next = p->ErrorContextData + len next == (u8 *)p - 8

The path can also be reached through guest or null-auth SMB sessions.\nUI:R - The victim client must mount/connect to the SMB share and perform a path operation such as lookup, stat, open, or create that causes an SMB2 CREATE response to be parsed. The remote server cannot trigger this parser without client-side filesystem activity.\nS:U - The affected component is the Linux kernel SMB client, and the impact is to the same kernel/client security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-scope sandbox escape.\nC:H - The bug is an out-of-bounds kernel read in a server-controlled response parser, and the read is not strictly bounded to only a few harmless bytes. Following the required conservative rule, this is scored as high confidentiality impact.\nI:N - The defect advances a parser pointer incorrectly and reads from the wrong location, but it does not write out of bounds or provide a kernel memory write primitive. No direct integrity impact beyond normal malicious-server control of SMB content was identified.\nA:H - The crafted length can make the parser loop indefinitely on 32-bit systems, causing a reliable denial of service. Other malformed pointer positions can also lead to invalid kernel reads and possible oops conditions."

The path can also be reached through guest or null-auth SMB sessions.\\nUI:R - The victim client must mount/connect to the SMB share and perform a path operation such as lookup, stat, open, or create that causes an SMB2 CREATE response to be parsed. The remote server cannot trigger this parser without client-side filesystem activity.\\nS:U - The affected component is the Linux kernel SMB client, and the impact is to the same kernel/client security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-scope sandbox escape.\\nC:H - The bug is an out-of-bounds kernel read in a server-controlled response parser, and the read is not strictly bounded to only a few harmless bytes. Following the required conservative rule, this is scored as high confidentiality impact.\\nI:N - The defect advances a parser pointer incorrectly and reads from the wrong location, but it does not write out of bounds or provide a kernel memory write primitive. No direct integrity impact beyond normal malicious-server control of SMB content was identified.\\nA:H - The crafted length can make the parser loop indefinitely on 32-bit systems, causing a reliable denial of service. Other malformed pointer positions can also lead to invalid kernel reads and possible oops conditions.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"product\": \"Linux\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"defaultStatus\":
