a malicious or compromised SMB1 server (or MITM on an unsigned session) delivers the crafted DataOffset/DataCount fields entirely over the network.\nAC:L - The server fully controls DataOffset, DataCount, and TotalDataCount in both primary and secondary TRANS2 PDUs and can force a large first fragment so mid->resp_buf is set; the unbounded memcpy is deterministic with no race or condition outside the attacker’s control.\nPR:N - The attacker is the remote SMB peer and needs no account or privileges on the victim; coalesce_t2() runs in the demux thread before validate_t2() or any local capability check, and session credentials belong to the client mount, not the attacking server.\nUI:N - Once an SMB1 CIFS mount exists (fstab, autofs, embedded/industrial NAS; CONFIG_CIFS_ALLOW_INSECURE_LEGACY defaults on), reconnect and ordinary lookup/readdir/getattr plus cifs_qfs_tcon QUERY_FS_INFO issue TRANS2 automatically, so the server can trigger coalescing with no further user action.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds heap read/write corrupts the client kernel’s own cifs_request slab within the same host security authority; this is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:H - An unvalidated source DataOffset lets memcpy read far past the secondary response (DataOffset is a 16-bit value up to 65535 versus a ~16KB cifs_request object), disclosing adjacent kernel heap; the same memory-corruption primitive can be leveraged for further disclosure.\nI:H - An unvalidated target DataOffset lets memcpy write attacker-controlled bytes past the primary buffer (or backward into the SMB header); the BCC-size guard does not constrain where the copy starts, yielding an out-of-bounds write exploitable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Reading or writing tens of kilobytes past the cifs_request allocation can fault on unmapped pages and oops or panic the demux thread, and a malicious server can retrigger it on every multi-part TRANS2." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/smb/client/smb1transport.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "e4eb295d38b57f4d4b956942a48887eb252d97c6", "lessThan": "6eb70b78e48b0031bd1a05fe1b58959a48e87739", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e4eb295d38b57f4d4b956942a48887eb252d97c6", "lessThan": "36d01415d881d5326a0dd3384f781cd7e69aff2d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e4eb295d38b57f4d4b956942a48887eb252d97c6", "lessThan": "672cf86aa6aa0fb4012ce4c3b3498df42ad67a4e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e4eb295d38b57f4d4b956942a48887eb252d97c6", "lessThan": "033bc80019f07d158630df4e69b19a49010f54f1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e4eb295d38b57f4d4b956942a48887eb252d97c6", "lessThan": "6343c1da561962688f203362d80d6a3bfa39fa1b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/smb/client/smb1transport.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.12", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.113", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.113" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6eb70b78e48b0031bd1a05fe1b58959a48e87739" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/36d01415d881d5326a0dd3384f781cd7e69aff2d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/672cf86aa6aa0fb4012ce4c3b3498df42ad67a4e" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/033bc80019f07d158630df4e69b19a49010f54f1" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6343c1da561962688f203362d80d6a3bfa39fa1b" } ], "title": "smb: client: fix OOB read/write from unvalidated DataOffset in coalesce_t2()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
