"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nksmbd: validate num_subauth when copying ACE in set_ntacl_dacl\n\nset_ntacl_dacl() copies each ACE from the attacker-controlled stored\nsecurity descriptor verbatim into the response DACL without checking\nsid.num_subauth. The ACE bytes (including an unchecked num_subauth)\noriginate from an authenticated SMB2_SET_INFO(SecInfo=DACL) that is\nstored raw via ksmbd_vfs_set_sd_xattr(); parse_dacl() rejects a bad ACE\nwith `break` rather than an error, so parse_sec_desc() still returns\nsuccess and the malformed SD reaches the xattr intact.\n\nOn a subsequent SMB2_QUERY_INFO(SecInfo=DACL) for an inode carrying a\nPOSIX access ACL, build_sec_desc() -> set_ntacl_dacl() ->\nset_posix_acl_entries_dacl() walks the copied ACEs and reads\n\n ntace->sid.sub_auth[ntace->sid.num_subauth - 1]\n\nwith num_subauth taken straight from the stored SD. Since sub_auth[]\nis fixed at SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES (15), a crafted num_subauth (e.g.\n255) drives an out-of-bounds heap read of ~1 KB with an offset fully\ncontrolled by an authenticated client.\n\nThe sibling functions already gate this field:\n parse_dacl() -- num_subauth == 0 || > SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES\n parse_sid() -- num_subauth > SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES\n smb_copy_sid() -- min_t(u8, num_subauth, SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES)\nset_ntacl_dacl() is the lone inconsistent path that omits the check.\n\nAdd the same num_subauth validation in set_ntacl_dacl() before copying\nthe ACE, matching the gate already enforced by parse_dacl()."

"value": "AV:N - ksmbd is the in-kernel SMB3 server on TCP/445; both SMB2_SET_INFO(SecInfo=DACL) and SMB2_QUERY_INFO(SecInfo=DACL) are handled from remote SMB2 PDUs in smb2_set_info()/smb2_query_info() via ksmbd_conn_handler_loop(), with no local syscall or physical access required.\nAC:L - Once ksmbd is running with ACL-xattr shares, an attacker deterministically plants a malformed DACL via SET_INFO and triggers the read on QUERY_INFO; num_subauth fully controls the OOB offset, with no race, timing window, or victim-dependent memory layout required.\nPR:L - SMB2_SET_INFO/QUERY_INFO require a valid post-authentication session (smb2_check_user_session) and SET_INFO SECURITY additionally requires FILE_WRITE_DAC/FILE_WRITE_OWNER on the open handle; this is a low-privilege authenticated SMB client, not a pre-auth or root-only path.\nUI:N - Exploitation is driven entirely by the attacker's own SMB2 SET_INFO and QUERY_INFO requests over the network; no local user, administrator, or victim client must perform any separate action.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and any resulting disclosure or crash occur entirely within kernel ksmbd server memory on the host; no VM, IOMMU, container, or other security-boundary escape is involved.\nC:H - Crafted num_subauth (e.g. 255) makes set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() index far past the 15-element sub_auth[] array, performing an attacker-offset-controlled ~1 KB out-of-bounds kernel heap read whose value is compared during DACL rebuild, enabling kernel memory disclosure.\nI:N - The defect is an out-of-bounds read during ACE deduplication; no kernel memory is written, no attacker-controlled data is persisted beyond the intentionally stored security descriptor, and no code-execution or arbitrary-write primitive is introduced.\nA:H - An unchecked multi-hundred-byte read past the smb_ace SID sub_auth array can cross slab/object boundaries and fault on hardened or KASAN builds; any unvalidated kernel out-of-bounds access is treated as capable of oops/panic and full host denial of service."
