Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: clean up failed cached directory opens
open_cached_dir() sends CREATE and QUERY_INFO as a compound request. If
the CREATE succeeds but a later command returns an error, the function
must retain the CREATE FID so common cleanup can issue SMB2_close(). It
also must not treat a response error as a valid CREATE.
Validate the CREATE response before using its fields, record the FIDs, and
mark the handle open before handling errors from later compound commands.
Move the -EREMCHG reconnect handling before response validation so a
missing response does not hide the reconnect request. Count the handle
when it is marked open; confirmed close responses decrement the counter,
while existing close retry behavior remains best effort on transport
failures.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block (SMB) client. When opening cached directories, the client fails to validate server responses to compound commands before reading their contents and handling file identifiers. A malicious or compromised SMB server could exploit this flaw by returning a malformed or unexpected response, causing invalid memory access and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) via a kernel crash.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate impact because triggering the flaw requires an explicit connection to a malicious or compromised SMB server, limiting exposure to client-initiated outbound traffic rather than unsolicited remote requests. In standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments, the kernel SMB client is not invoked unless a remote share is intentionally mounted. The potential impact is confined to a local system crash and denial of service, with no compromise of data confidentiality or integrity.
