Summary

A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel related to the processing of SIDs in the context of NFS. The issue lies in the parse_dacl() function potentially reading data beyond the bounds of the ACE, which could lead to unauthorized access.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform buffer overflow attacks, potentially compromising system integrity or gaining unauthorized access to resources.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to patch this vulnerability and to monitor logs for potential attack attempts.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: require a full NFS mode SID before reading mode bits parse_dacl() treats an ACE SID matching sid_unix_NFS_mode as an NFS mode SID and reads sid.sub_auth[2] to recover the mode bits. That assumes the ACE carries three subauthorities, but compare_sids() only compares min(a, b) subauthorities. A malicious server can return an ACE with num_subauth = 2 and sub_auth[] = {88, 3}, which still matches sid_unix_NFS_mode and then drives the sub_auth[2] read four bytes past the end of the ACE. Require num_subauth >= 3 before treating the ACE as an NFS mode SID. This keeps the fix local to the special-SID mode path without changing compare_sids() semantics for the rest of cifsacl.
