No local access is needed.\nAC:L - A single deterministically crafted request (DataOffset=0, DataLength=0, CreateContextsLength=20) passes smb2_find_context_vals() and reaches the fixed-offset read every time; there is no race, no timing window, and no dependence on memory layout for the disclosure.\nPR:L - SMB2_CREATE is dispatched only after a valid SessionId (ksmbd_session_lookup) and tree connect, so the attacker needs SMB credentials — though a guest-mapped share reduces this to effectively none.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the flaw entirely by sending packets to the listening ksmbd service; no action by any local user or administrator is required.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read stays within the kernel's own heap and the impact is confined to the kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Up to 36 bytes of adjacent kernel heap memory are read, and the first 16 (the lease key) are echoed verbatim to the remote attacker in the CREATE response via create_lease_buf(), giving a repeatable heap-disclosure oracle with attacker-controlled allocation sizing for grooming — sufficient to defeat KASLR and leak neighbouring object contents.\nI:N - The flaw is a read-only over-read; the memcpy destinations are correctly sized kzalloc'd objects and no attacker-controlled out-of-bounds write or control-flow corruption occurs.\nA:H - Because the attacker sizes the kvmalloc'd request buffer, the read can be positioned to run off the end of a vmalloc-backed allocation into a guard page, and on KASAN/hardened kernels it triggers an oops/panic, taking down the SMB server and potentially the system."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/smb/server/oplock.c"],"versions":[{"version":"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf","lessThan":"629dd37acc336ad778979361c351e782053ea284","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf","lessThan":"60b7207893a8a06c78441934931a08fdad63f18e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf","lessThan":"800c482c9ef5910f05e3a713943c67cc6c1d4939","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf","lessThan":"a41cd52f00907a040ca22c73d4805bb79b0d0972","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf","lessThan":"9a1b6ea955e6c7b29939a6d98701202f9d9644ec","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0626e6641f6b467447c81dd7678a69c66f7746cf","lessThan":"bab703ed8472aa9d109c5f8c1863921533363dae","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/smb/server/oplock.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.15","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.15","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.134","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.87","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.23","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.13.11","lessThanOrEqual":"6.13.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.14.2","lessThanOrEqual":"6.14.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.15","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.134"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.87"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.23"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.13.11"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.14.2"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.15"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/629dd37acc336ad778979361c351e782053ea284"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60b7207893a8a06c78441934931a08fdad63f18e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/800c482c9ef5910f05e3a713943c67cc6c1d4939"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a41cd52f00907a040ca22c73d4805bb79b0d0972"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9a1b6ea955e6c7b29939a6d98701202f9d9644ec"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bab703ed8472aa9d109c5f8c1863921533363dae"}],"title":"ksmbd: add bounds check for create lease context","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"title":"CVE Program Container","references":[{"url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/05/msg00045.html"}],"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108","shortName":"CVE","dateUpdated":"2025-11-03T19:41:24.487Z"}}]}}
