"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nksmbd: reject undersized DACLs before parsing ACEs\n\nparse_dacl() limits the attacker-controlled ACE count by comparing it\nwith the number of minimal ACEs that fit in the DACL size. The DACL size\nfield is 16 bits, but the expression subtracts sizeof(struct smb_acl).\nBecause sizeof() is unsigned, a DACL size smaller than the ACL header\nunderflows to a large size_t.\n\nA malicious client can reach this with:\n\nSMB2_SET_INFO (InfoType=SMB2_O_INFO_SECURITY)\n -> smb2_set_info_sec()\n -> set_info_sec()\n -> parse_sec_desc()\n -> parse_dacl()\n -> init_acl_state(..., 0xffff)\n -> init_acl_state(..., 0xffff)\n -> kmalloc_objs(..., 0xffff)\n\nThus a malformed security descriptor can make num_aces pass the guard\nand drive large temporary ACL state and pointer-array allocations.\n\nReject DACLs smaller than struct smb_acl before doing the subtraction,\nso the ACE count check cannot be bypassed by the underflow."

"value": "AV:N - The flaw is reached through ksmbd's in-kernel SMB2 server on TCP/445 via SMB2_SET_INFO (InfoType=SMB2_O_INFO_SECURITY) or SMB2 CREATE with an SD buffer, both handled from remote network input.\nAC:L - An attacker reliably triggers the bug by sending a crafted security descriptor with DACL size below 8 bytes and a large num_aces (e.g. 0xFFFF), bypassing the underflowed ACE-count check without special timing or victim state.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires an authenticated SMB session, a writable tree connect, an open file handle (or CREATE with SD buffer), and FILE_WRITE_DAC or FILE_WRITE_OWNER access on that object.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required beyond the attacker sending malicious SMB2 protocol requests to an exposed ksmbd server.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel memory exhaustion and ksmbd availability within the same host security authority; it does not cross VM, container, or IOMMU boundaries.\nC:H - The unsigned underflow bypasses DACL bounds validation, letting attacker-controlled num_aces drive multi-megabyte kernel heap allocations and parse attacker-supplied ACE data from malformed security descriptors.\nI:H - Attacker-controlled allocation sizing from bypassed validation creates large heap manipulation primitives in kernel context, consistent with similar ksmbd DACL integer-validation flaws scored at high integrity impact.\nA:H - Each malicious request forces roughly 2.5 MB of kernel allocations; repeated or concurrent SMB2_SET_INFO calls can exhaust memory, trigger OOM/page-allocator failures, and deny service to ksmbd and the host."
