CVE-2026-90170 in Linux
Riassunto
di VulDB • 18/09/2026
Nel kernel Linux, è stata risolta la seguente vulnerabilità:
ksmbd: validare la lunghezza della risposta IPC prima di dereferenziarne i campi
ipc_validate_msg() calcola le dimensioni attese del messaggio leggendo i campi length dal buffer di risposta fornito dal daemon ksmbd in userspace (payload_sz, session_key_len, ngroups, ...). Tali campi vengono letti prima che il buffer venga verificato per assicurarsi che sia sufficientemente grande da contenere la struct a cui appartengono; pertanto, una risposta troppo corta fa sì che la lettura vada oltre la fine dell'allocazione.
handle_response() dimensiona entry->response esclusivamente in base alla lunghezza dell'attributo netlink (nla_len()) e protegge solo la lettura iniziale del handle, consentendo al daemon di installare una risposta piccola quanto l'oggetto kmalloc-8 mostrato di seguito. Quando ipc_msg_send_request() chiama successivamente ipc_validate_msg() per un KSMBD_EVENT_RPC_REQUEST, il cast a struct ksmbd_rpc_command legge resp->payload_sz all'offset 8 di un'allocazione di 8 byte:
