DescriptionCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: prevent out-of-bounds reads in share config responses

Validate IPC share configuration payload sizes before consuming variable-length fields. Bound veto list parsing and account for the separator byte when deriving the path length.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds reads in the Linux kernel's ksmbd in-kernel SMB3 server can leak kernel memory or crash the system when a local low-privileged attacker can influence the netlink IPC share-configuration response produced by the userspace ksmbd.mountd daemon. The flaw lies in unvalidated variable-length share-config fields - an over-long veto list and a path length that fails to account for the separator byte - and affects kernel series where the fix boundaries listed by EUVD are 5.16, 6.2, 6.7, and 6.9, plus the 7.2.6/7.3-rc2 lines. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires the ksmbd in-kernel SMB3 server module to be loaded and serving shares (non-default on most systems, which typically use userspace Samba). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine but lower-priority kernel memory-safety issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor patch: update the Linux kernel to a release containing the fix commits f25e93768fcc5d8287e50b1ec52a42e4c276df34 or 61a8d06600c8c397f9a7e01940479d4c94a82f5f from the stable tree (https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f25e93768fcc5d8287e50b1ec52a42e4c276df34 and https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61a8d06600c8c397f9a7e01940479d4c94a82f5f), or move to the fixed levels identified by EUVD (5.15.157, 6.1.85, 6.6.26, 6.8.5, and the 7.2.6/7.3-rc2 lines); track the distro vendor's kernel errata and the NVD/VulDB advisories for backport status. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory Linux hosts running the ksmbd in-kernel SMB3 server and ksmbd.mountd, confirm whether ksmbd is enabled instead of userspace Samba, and disable or blacklist the ksmbd module where it is not business-required. …
