Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: Handle kstrdup failures for passwords
In smb3_reconfigure(), after duplicating ctx->password and
ctx->password2 with kstrdup(), we need to check for allocation
failures.
If ses->password allocation fails, return -ENOMEM.
If ses->password2 allocation fails, free ses->password, set it
to NULL, and return -ENOMEM.
