Published Dec 16, 2022
·
Updated

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory read flaw was found in parseleasestate in KSMBD implemetation of in-kernel samba server and CIFS in the Linux kernel. When attacker sends CREATE command with malform payload to KSMBD, because of missing check NameOffset in function parseleasestate(), the createcontext object can access invalid memory.
