Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> smb/client: fix out-of-bounds read in symlink_data()<br /> <br /> Since smb2_check_message() returns success without length validation for<br /> the symlink error response, in symlink_data() it is possible for<br /> iov-&gt;iov_len to be smaller than sizeof(struct smb2_err_rsp). If the buffer<br /> only contains the base SMB2 header (64 bytes), accessing<br /> err-&gt;ErrorContextCount (at offset 66) or err-&gt;ByteCount later in<br /> symlink_data() will cause an out-of-bounds read.
