Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was found in the ksmbd filesystem due to an out-of-bounds read when accessing sub_auth with zero num_subauth. Lack of validation before reading psid->sub_auth[psid->num_subauth - 1] leads to an out-of-bounds read.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of a kernel crash due to an out-of-bounds memory read, potentially disrupting filesystem operations.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds validation of num_subauth != 0 before accessing sub_auth.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: validate zero num_subauth before sub_auth is accessed Access psid->sub_auth[psid->num_subauth - 1] without checking if num_subauth is non-zero leads to an out-of-bounds read. This patch adds a validation step to ensure num_subauth != 0 before sub_auth is accessed.
