2) Integer underflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU86552

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0565

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the receive_encrypted_standard() function in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c in the SMB Client sub-component in the Linux Kernel. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SMB server, trigger an integer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
