What it is

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

smb: client: fix missing iov bounds check in parse_posix_sids()

In parse_posix_sids(), sidsbuf_end is calculated using the server-supplied

out_len without being validated against the actual length of the received

iov (iov_len).

If a server provides an inflated out_len, sidsbuf_end will point past the

end of the iov. This defeats the bounds guards in posix_info_sid_size(),

allowing out-of-bounds reads into adjacent kernel memory.

Fix this by rejecting responses where the calculated sidsbuf_end would

exceed the received iov boundaries or cause pointer wraparound.
