A remote TREE_CONNECT only creates the pending IPC request; the attacker must be local to inject or control that response.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the crafted netlink length fields and can set payload_sz to 0 or omit NULs so the old checks pass. Pending handles come from a small IDA and can be brute-forced against a TREE_CONNECT the attacker also triggers; no victim timing or rare config is required.\nPR:L - handle_generic_event requires CAP_NET_ADMIN only when CONFIG_SMB_SERVER_CHECK_CAP_NET_ADMIN is set; SMBD_GENL is netns-aware, has no GENL_ADMIN_PERM, and does not bind responses to ksmbd_tools_pid. That capability is Low, and builds that disable the check allow any local user to send the message.\nUI:N - The attacker sends the malformed SHARE_CONFIG_RESPONSE and can issue the matching SMB2 TREE_CONNECT themselves; no separate victim or administrator action is required once ksmbd is running.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds reads and any resulting oops remain inside the ksmbd/kernel security authority on the host. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU/DMA bypass, or other cross-boundary impact.\nC:H - With payload_sz==0 the kernel kstrndup()s up to PATH_MAX bytes past the IPC object, and parse_veto_list() uses unbounded strlen()/kstrdup() when the veto buffer lacks a NUL within veto_list_sz. Those are large kernel-heap over-reads, not a few bounded bytes.\nI:N - The defects are out-of-bounds reads (strlen, kstrndup, kstrdup) into newly allocated strings; there is no out-of-bounds write or control-flow hijack primitive. A local IPC sender can already supply a well-formed share path without this bug.\nA:H - Walking strlen() or kstrndup(..., PATH_MAX) off the end of the IPC slab into unmapped memory oopses the ksmbd worker. The attacker can repeat the crafted response against further TREE_CONNECT-triggered requests and crash the kernel at will."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/smb/server/mgmt/share_config.c", "fs/smb/server/transport_ipc.c"], "versions": [{"version": "a677ebd8ca2f2632ccdecbad7b87641274e15aac", "lessThan": "61a8d06600c8c397f9a7e01940479d4c94a82f5f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "a677ebd8ca2f2632ccdecbad7b87641274e15aac", "lessThan": "f25e93768fcc5d8287e50b1ec52a42e4c276df34", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "88b7f1143b15b29cccb8392b4f38e75b7bb3e300", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "51a6c2af9d20203ddeeaf73314ba8854b38d01bd", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "a637fabac554270a851033f5ab402ecb90bc479c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "76af689a45aa44714b46d1a7de4ffdf851ded896", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "5.15.157", "lessThan": "5.16", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.85", "lessThan": "6.2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.26", "lessThan": "6.7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.8.5", "lessThan": "6.9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/smb/server/mgmt/share_config.c", "fs/smb/server/transport_ipc.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.9", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc2"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15.157"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1.85"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.26"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8.5"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61a8d06600c8c397f9a7e01940479d4c94a82f5f"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f25e93768fcc5d8287e50b1ec52a42e4c276df34"}], "title": "ksmbd: prevent out-of-bounds reads in share config responses", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
