The bounds check on buf_free_len is performed\nbefore the value memcpy, but the alignment memset fires unconditionally\nafterward with no check on remaining space.\n\nWhen the EA value exactly fills the remaining buffer (buf_free_len == 0\nafter value subtraction), the alignment memset writes 1-3 NUL bytes\npast the buf_free_len boundary. In compound requests where the response\nbuffer is shared across commands, the first command (e.g., READ) can\nconsume most of the buffer, leaving a tight remainder for the QUERY_INFO\nEA response. The alignment memset then overwrites past the physical\nkvmalloc allocation into adjacent kernel heap memory.\n\nAdd a bounds check before the alignment memset to ensure buf_free_len\ncan accommodate the padding bytes.\n\nThis is the same bug pattern fixed by commit beef2634f81f (\"ksmbd: fix\npotencial OOB in get_file_all_info() for compound requests\") and\ncommit fda9522ed6af (\"ksmbd: fix OOB write in QUERY_INFO for compound\nrequests\"), both of which added bounds checks before unconditional\nwrites in QUERY_INFO response handlers.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-05-01T13:56:03.896+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-15T01:18:03.133+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
