A malicious or compromised SMB server (or MITM on an unsigned session) triggers it purely with network data.\nAC:L - The server directly controls the 32-bit `Next` value and the response length, so it deterministically drives `p` past the end of the kmemdup\u0027d buffer on the first entry; no race, timing, or memory-layout condition outside the attacker\u0027s control is involved.\nPR:N - The attacker is the peer SMB server, which holds no privileges on the victim client \u2014 it is the client that authenticates to the server, not the reverse. No credentials or local account on the target are needed.\nUI:N - Besides the mount path, `SMB3_request_interfaces()` is invoked from the `smb2_query_server_interfaces()` delayed work re-queued every 600 s and from `smb2_reconnect()`; since the server itself advertises the MULTI_CHANNEL capability that schedules that poll and can force a reconnect by dropping the connection, it can trigger the parse repeatedly on a pre-existing mount with no victim action.\nS:U - The invalid read and its consequences stay within the kernel of the affected client host; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The server chooses an arbitrary offset of up to 4 GiB past the response allocation, giving an unbounded wild read of kernel memory rather than a small bounded overread, consistent with kernel.org CNA treatment of cifs client OOB reads (e.g. CVE-2026-31613, CVE-2026-46155).\nI:N - The defect is strictly a read: `bytes_left` goes negative and the loop exits before any out-of-bounds bytes are copied into `tmp_iface` or the interface list, and there is no out-of-bounds write.\nA:H - Dereferencing a pointer up to 4 GiB beyond a slab object readily hits an unmapped direct-map address, producing a kernel oops that kills the mounting or cifsiod worker context (and a KASAN report/panic on hardened kernels); the server can repeat it on every reconnect."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
