Heap-based buffer overflow in Linux kernel - CVE-2022-47942

Vulnerability identifier: #VU70482

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47942

CWE-ID: CWE-122

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in set_ntacl_dacl, related to use of SMB2_QUERY_INFO_HE after a malformed SMB2_SET_INFO_HE command. A remote user can send specially crafted data to the ksmbd daemon, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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