medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 468974

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: use kzalloc to zero-
initialize security descriptor buffer Commit 62e7dd0a39c2d ("smb: common: change the data type of num_aces
to le16") split struct smb_acl's __le32 num_aces field into __le16 num_aces and __le16 reserved. The
reserved field corresponds to Sbz2 in the MS-DTYP ACL wire format, which must be zero [1]. When building
an ACL descriptor in build_sec_desc(), we are using a kmalloc()'ed descriptor buffer and writing the
fields explicitly using le16() writes now. This never writes to the 2 byte reserved field, leaving it as
uninitialized heap data. When the reserved field happens to contain non-zero slab garbage, Samba rejects
the security descriptor with "ndr_pull_security_descriptor failed: Range Error", causing chmod to fail
with EINVAL. Change kmalloc() to kzalloc() to ensure the entire buffer is zero-initialized. [1]
