In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix UAF and buffer leak in cifs_check_trans2() for malformed secondary T2
When a valid primary TRANSACT2 response has been received (mid->resp_buf
set, mid->multiRsp true) and a subsequent secondary response causes
cifs_check_trans2() to return false -- either because the SMB header is
invalid (malformed != 0) or because check2ndT2() rejects the PDU --
handle_mid() overwrites mid->resp_buf with the new buffer (leaking the
primary buffer) and, because mid->multiRsp is set, skips the
server->smallbuf/bigbuf NULL-out. When the user thread frees
mid->resp_buf, server->smallbuf or server->bigbuf is left dangling; the
demux thread reuses it for the next packet, resulting in a use-after-free.
Combine both early-exit conditions and, when mid->multiRsp is already
set, abort the pending transaction inline: set multiEnd, call
dequeue_mid() with malformed=true, and return true so handle_mid() exits
without touching mid->resp_buf or the server buffer pointers.
SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at low or medium mission impact; Track* at high (mission-essential systems).
A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (no CISA value, KEV listing or exploit code on record) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from Vulnrichment. EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse". CISA's decision table
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
