NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rtla package and not the rtla package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cifs: validate DFS referral string offsets

parse_dfs_referrals() validates that the response header and referral array fit in the received buffer, but each referral also contains string offsets supplied by the server.

Those offsets are used to compute the DfsPath and NetworkAddress string pointers without checking whether they still point inside the response buffer. A malformed referral can therefore make the computed pointer exceed the end of the buffer. The resulting negative max_len is then passed to cifs_strndup_from_utf16(), and the non-Unicode path forwards it to kstrndup() as a size_t, allowing strnlen() to read out of bounds.

Validate each string offset before deriving the string pointer.
