CVE-2025-22038: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.1. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: validate zero num_subauth before sub_auth is accessed Access psid->sub_auth[psid->num_subauth - 1] without checking if num_subauth is non-zero leads to an out-of-bounds read. This patch adds a validation step to ensure num_subauth != 0 before sub_auth is accessed.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: before 6.1.134 (fixed in 6.1.134); from 6.2, before 6.6.87 (fixed in 6.6.87); from 6.7, before 6.12.23 (fixed in 6.12.23); from 6.13, before 6.13.11 (fixed in 6.13.11); from 6.14, before 6.14.2 (fixed in 6.14.2)
