Linux Linux Kernel

CVE-2023-6610

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in smb2_dump_detail in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak internal kernel information.

What this means for your business

  • It affects Linux Kernel. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
  • Code showing how to exploit it has been published, but real attacks have not been confirmed.
  • An attacker can use it only with access to the machine itself, with an ordinary user login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.

What to do

  1. 1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Linux Kernel, and which version. The affected versions are listed further down this page.
  2. 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
