Summary

In the Linux kernel, SMB client function posix_info_sid_size() reads sid[1] for subauthority count, but its boundary check still accepts buffers with only one remaining byte. The fix requires two bytes before reading sid[1] so all client paths safely reject truncated POSIX SIDs.

Risk Assessment

Improper POSIX SID parsing can lead to out-of-bounds read, potentially causing a crash or information leak.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing this fix to harden POSIX SID length parsing.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: harden POSIX SID length parsing posix_info_sid_size() reads sid[1] to obtain the subauthority count, but its existing boundary check still accepts buffers with only one remaining byte. Require two bytes before reading sid[1] so all client paths that reuse the helper reject truncated POSIX SIDs safely.
