Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP Improper Input Validation (CVE-2026-31704)

medium Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 506388

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

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

ksmbd: use check_add_overflow() to prevent u16 DACL size overflow

set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() and set_ntacl_dacl() accumulate ACE sizes in u16 variables. When a file has many POSIX ACL entries, the accumulated size can wrap past 65535, causing the pointer arithmetic (char *)pndace + *size to land within already-written ACEs. Subsequent writes then overwrite earlier entries, and pndacl->size gets a truncated value.

Use check_add_overflow() at each accumulation point to detect the wrap before it corrupts the buffer, consistent with existing check_mul_overflow() usage elsewhere in smbacl.c.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
