What the advisory describes

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix one-byte OOB read in smb2_parse_native_symlink() When parsing a share-root relative native symlink, memcpy copies smb_target+1 (skipping the leading separator) but uses strlen(smb_target)+1 as the length, reading one byte past the allocated buffer. This fixes the following KASAN splat when accessing an SMB symlink with a target of '\a\b': BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in smb2_parse_native_symlink+0x4f5/0xca0 Read of size 5 at addr ffff88800878fe21 by task netfsfuzz-execu/1 CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: netfsfuzz-execu Tainted: G N 7.2.0-11943-g2709dd5ae32f-dirty #1 PREEMPT(lazy) Hardware name: QEMU Ubuntu 24.04 PC v2 (i440FX + PIIX, arch_caps fix, 1996) Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x7b/0xa0 print_report+0xd0/0x630 kasan_report+0xe5/0x120 kasan_check_range+0x105/0x1b0 __asan_memcpy+0x23/0x60 smb2_parse_native_symlink+0x4f5/0xca0 parse_reparse_point+0x68a/0x1530 reparse_info_to_fattr+0x752/0xa20 cifs_get_fattr+0x873/0x15b0 cifs_get_inode_info+0xc0/0x310 cifs_lookup+0x308/0xa70 __lookup_slow+0x122/0x2b0 lookup_slow+0x50/0x70 path_lookupat+0x525/0xaf0 filename_lookup+0x1f2/0x550 vfs_statx+0xd1/0x1a0 vfs_fstatat+0x65/0xc0 __do_sys_newfstatat+0x9a/0x120 do_syscall_64+0xdd/0x4a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f

Does this concern one of your customers?

This page cannot answer that — it does not know your estate. Whoever has recorded their environments gets the answer the morning after publication, together with a paragraph they can forward to the customer unedited.

Patchlage reports hits and suspected hits. About everything else this system says nothing — neither this page nor the situation report ever claims that an estate is safe.
