An official patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions. The vendor advisory from Ubuntu confirms that this and other kernel vulnerabilities have been fixed. Users should update their Linux kernel packages to the patched versions as provided by their distribution.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ksmbd component was fixed to address an integer overflow in the dacloffset bounds check. The dacloffset field was originally a signed integer used in unchecked addition, which could overflow and bypass bounds checks, potentially causing out-of-bounds memory access and kernel crashes. The fix involved changing dacloffset to an unsigned integer and adding overflow checks. Multiple Linux kernel versions are affected, and a patch is available.
