Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix next_buffer UAF and NextCommand bounds in compound PDUs Fix several related bounds checking and pointer lifecycle issues in receive_encrypted_standard()'s handling of compound encrypted frames:
- Clear next_buffer after assigning it to server->bigbuf. A stale next_buffer pointer can lead to a use-after-free on subsequent error paths.
- Update pdu_length to the decrypted plaintext size (buf_size). Using the pre-decryption length allows NextCommand to point into stale ciphertext residue.
- Reject next_cmd values smaller than MID_HEADER_SIZE(server).
- Fix an integer overflow in the upper bound check by verifying
pdu_length - next_cmd < MID_HEADER_SIZE(server), ensuring the
trailing slice is large enough for a header.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block (SMB) client. A malicious or compromised remote server can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted compound encrypted network responses. Due to improper bounds validation and pointer lifecycle management, the client can encounter a use-after-free condition or out-of-bounds memory access. This flaw primarily allows an attacker to cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service (DoS), or potentially execute arbitrary code.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Important severity for Red Hat Enterprise Linux because an attacker must control or compromise a remote SMB server and entice a client to connect, yet successful exploitation can yield kernel memory corruption. In typical enterprise environments, the SMB client kernel module is not active unless a CIFS filesystem is explicitly mounted by an administrator or user. However, systems that connect to untrusted file shares or follow dynamic server referrals are exposed to malformed encrypted responses that can cause a kernel crash or privilege escalation.
