Summary

In the Linux kernel, the ksmbd module has incorrect buffer length validation in smb2_set_ea(). It fails to check buffer length before accessing the next smb2_ea_info, potentially leading to out-of-bounds read.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this to leak memory information or cause a system crash.

Recommendation

Install the Linux kernel update that fixes buffer length validation in ksmbd.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix wrong next length validation of ea buffer in smb2_set_ea() There are multiple smb2_ea_info buffers in FILE_FULL_EA_INFORMATION request from client. ksmbd find next smb2_ea_info using ->NextEntryOffset of current smb2_ea_info. ksmbd need to validate buffer length Before accessing the next ea. ksmbd should check buffer length using buf_len, not next variable. next is the start offset of current ea that got from previous ea.
