Summary

In the cifs.idmap mechanism, the payload length was incorrectly handled, potentially truncating it to U16_MAX. Not rejecting oversized payloads led to length inconsistencies and potential memory errors.

Risk Assessment

Potential memory corruption or logic errors that could be exploited to compromise system integrity.

Recommendation

Update the kernel to fix length validation in cifs.idmap.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cifs: validate idmap key payload length The cifs.idmap key type stores its payload length in key->datalen, which is limited to U16_MAX. Accepting a larger key payload truncates the recorded length and can make later users interpret the payload using inconsistent bounds. Reject oversized preparsed payloads before allocating or copying them. This keeps key->datalen consistent with the stored data for both inline and separately allocated idmap payloads.
