Consequently, is_chained_smb2_message() continues to point to\nthe same request header instead of advancing.

This ensures that\nthe processing loop terminates immediately rather than attempting to\ncontinue from an invalidated offset."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "Se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad en el kernel de Linux:\n\nksmbd: corrige un bucle infinito causado por el reinicio de next_smb2_rcv_hdr_off en las rutas de error\n\nEl problema ocurre cuando una solicitud firmada falla la verificaci\u00f3n de firma smb2. En __process_request(), si check_sign_req() devuelve un error, se llama a set_smb2_rsp_status(work, STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED). set_smb2_rsp_status() establece work->next_smb2_rcv_hdr_off a cero. Al reiniciar next_smb2_rcv_hdr_off a cero, el puntero al siguiente comando en la cadena se pierde. En consecuencia, is_chained_smb2_message() contin\u00faa apuntando a la misma cabecera de solicitud en lugar de avanzar. Si el campo NextCommand de la cabecera no es cero, la funci\u00f3n devuelve verdadero, lo que hace que __handle_ksmbd_work() procese repetidamente la misma solicitud fallida en un bucle infinito.
