What it is

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

ksmbd: transport_ipc: validate payload size before reading handle

handle_response() dereferences the payload as a 4-byte handle without

verifying that the declared payload size is at least 4 bytes. A malformed

or truncated message from ksmbd.mountd can lead to a 4-byte read past the

declared payload size. Validate the size before dereferencing.

This is a minimal fix to guard the initial handle read.
