Live › vulnerability › CVE-2026-99113
Go to dashboardksmbd, the in-kernel SMB server, fills the FS_OBJECT_ID_INFORMATION reply without zeroing its 64-byte buffer, so in a compound request leftover bytes from an earlier reply can be sent to the client. An authenticated SMB client can read up to 31 bytes of kernel memory per affected reply, including data from a reply that failed with access denied.
Summary written from the sources below. Check the originals before acting.

Only systems running the in-kernel ksmbd SMB server are exposed, typically Linux file servers that share folders over SMB. Hosts using Samba (smbd), a Windows server, or any other SMB stack are not affected by this kernel code path. Machines that do not run ksmbd can skip it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: zero the FS_OBJECT_ID_INFORMATION buffer before filling it in
smb2_get_info_filesystem() reports 64 bytes for FS_OBJECT_ID_INFORMATION, that is the whole of struct object_id_info, but writes only 46 of them:
The response buffer is zeroed on allocation (kvzalloc() in smb2_allocate_rsp_buf()), so for a standalone request the remaining 31 bytes are zero. In a compound request they need not be. The offset of the next response is advanced by the length pinned for the previous one, so if a preceding command wrote its reply into the buffer and then failed, smb2_set_err_rsp() pins only the short error response and the next reply lands inside the area that has already been written. Only the header is cleared there:
memset((char *)rsp_hdr, 0, sizeof(struct smb2_hdr) + 2);
The client then receives up to 31 bytes of a response it was not meant to see, including one that failed with an access denied error.
Clear the structure before filling it in. As a side effect version_string is now NUL terminated.
