Severity

8.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix wrong next length validation of ea buffer in smb2_set_ea() There are multiple smb2_ea_info buffers in FILE_FULL_EA_INFORMATION request from client. ksmbd find next smb2_ea_info using ->NextEntryOffset of current smb2_ea_info. ksmbd need to validate buffer length Before accessing the next ea. ksmbd should check buffer length using buf_len, not next variable. next is the start offset of current ea that got from previous ea.

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.
