In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: reserve space for the UTF-16 terminator in stream info

smb_strtoUTF16() always writes a terminating zero UTF-16 unit after the converted characters, but get_file_stream_info() budgets only sizeof(struct smb2_file_stream_info) + streamlen * 2 for a stream entry and sizeof(struct smb2_file_stream_info) + 7 * 2 for the trailing "::$DATA" entry. When an entry exactly fills the 448-byte small response buffer, the terminator is written two bytes past the allocation.

Reserve one extra UTF-16 unit in both budget checks. The terminator is not part of the wire format, so the reported lengths are unchanged.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen im Linux Kernel ausnutzen, um einen nicht näher spezifizierten Angriff durchzuführen, möglicherweise einen Denial-of-Service-Angriff auszulösen, Daten zu manipulieren oder offenzulegen oder Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen.
