Fedora 35: 2022-7fda04ab5a Critical: CIFS-Utils Buffer Overflow and Leak

The SMB/CIFS protocol is a standard file sharing protocol widely deployed

on Microsoft Windows machines. This package contains tools for mounting

shares on Linux using the SMB/CIFS protocol. The tools in this package

work in conjunction with support in the kernel to allow one to mount a

SMB/CIFS share onto a client and use it as if it were a standard Linux

file system.

This is a security release to address the following bugs: - CVE-2022-27239:

mount.cifs: fix length check for ip option parsing - CVE-2022-29869: mount.cifs:

fix verbose messages on option parsing Description CVE-2022-27239: In cifs-utils through 6.14, a stack-based buffer overflow when parsing the mount.cifs

ip= command-line argument could lead to local attackers gaining root privileges.

CVE-2022-29869: cifs-utils through 6.14, with verbose logging, can cause an

information leak when a file contains = (equal sign) characters but is not a

valid credentials file. Both issues were originally reported and fixed by

Jeffrey Bencteux.
