CVE-2025-38431

Опубликовано: 25 июл. 2025

CVSS3: 5.5

Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix regression with native SMB symlinks Some users and customers reported that their backup/copy tools started to fail when the directory being copied contained symlink targets that the client couldn't parse - even when those symlinks weren't followed. Fix this by allowing lstat(2) and readlink(2) to succeed even when the client can't resolve the symlink target, restoring old behavior.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block (SMB) client. A local user could exploit this vulnerability when backup or copy tools interact with native SMB symlinks that the client cannot parse. This issue causes these tools to fail, leading to a denial of service (DoS) for affected operations.
