What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: avoid out of bounds access in decode_preauth_ctxt()

Confirm that the accessed pneg_ctxt->HashAlgorithms address sits within

the SMB request boundary; deassemble_neg_contexts() only checks that the

eight byte smb2_neg_context header + (client controlled) DataLength are

within the packet boundary, which is insufficient.

Checking for sizeof(struct smb2_preauth_neg_context) is overkill given

that the type currently assumes SMB311_SALT_SIZE bytes of trailing Salt.
