CVE-2026-46155
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb/client: fix out-of-bounds read in smb2_compound_op()
If a server sends a truncated response but a large OutputBufferLength, and terminates the EA list early, check_wsl_eas() returns success without validating that the entire OutputBufferLength fits within iov_len.
Where size[0] is OutputBufferLength. If iov_len is smaller than size[0], memcpy can read beyond the end of the rsp_iov allocation and leak adjacent kernel heap memory.

Then smb2_compound_op() does:
memcpy(idata->wsl.eas, data[0], size[0]);CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
