A malicious, compromised, or spoofed SMB Direct peer reaches `recv_done()` purely over the network.\nAC:L - The attacker writes `data_offset`/`data_length` as plain header fields in a single crafted data-transfer message; there is no race, no memory-layout precondition, and the out-of-bounds read is deterministic and repeatable at an offset of the attacker\u0027s choosing.\nPR:N - `recv_done()` switches to `SMBDIRECT_EXPECT_DATA_TRANSFER` as soon as the unauthenticated transport-level SMBD negotiate completes, so the malformed packet is processed before SMB2 NEGOTIATE/SESSION_SETUP and before any signing or encryption is established \u2014 the peer needs no credentials on the client.\nUI:N - Once an SMB Direct mount exists (including automounts, fstab, DFS referrals, and automatic reconnects), a hostile or compromised server can send the crafted frame at any time and the client processes it automatically in its receive-completion and demultiplex paths. No administrator or user action is required at the moment of attack.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access, the disclosed data, and the resulting fault are all confined to the client kernel\u0027s own security authority; no hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The unvalidated 32-bit `data_offset` makes `copy_to_iter()` read from an attacker-chosen address up to 4 GiB past a ~2 KB receive-buffer slab object, and the inflated `data_length` keeps that buffer at the queue head so `offset` advances on each call \u2014 allowing a remote peer to stream out large amounts of kernel memory, which is then delivered to userspace as SMB response/file content.\nI:L - There is no out-of-bounds write, but the client assembles and parses SMB2 responses built from out-of-bounds kernel memory, so connection state, file metadata, and page-cache contents returned to applications are driven by data the attacker caused the kernel to read from outside the intended buffer.\nA:H - A large `data_offset` faults on unmapped memory or a vmalloc guard page in the demultiplex/softirq path, and an inflated `data_length` desynchronizes `reassembly.data_length` so `_get_first_reassembly()` returns NULL and is immediately dereferenced \u2014 either way an oops (full panic with `panic_on_oops`) that tears down the mount."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
