Summary
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block (SMB) client. A malicious SMB server could exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in the `smb2_ioctl_query_info()` function's bounds check.
By sending a specially crafted response with a large offset, the server can cause the client to read data beyond the allocated buffer. This out-of-bounds read could lead to information disclosure from the kernel memory.
Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-125.
Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
