Summary
CVE-2026-99110 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix heap overflow in cifs_do_set_acl()

cifs_set_acl() validates ACL size using posix_acl_xattr_size():

    4 + (count * 8)  // 4-byte header + 8 bytes per ACE

cifs_do_set_acl() then calls posix_acl_to_cifs() to write the CIFS wire format into the same buffer:

    6 + (count * 10)  // 6-byte header + 10 bytes per ACE

An ACL that passes the xattr-based check in cifs_set_acl() can overflow the heap when posix_acl_to_cifs() writes the larger CIFS format.

Validate the CIFS format size against the remaining buffer space and USHRT_MAX before converting--data_count is __u16, so sizes above USHRT_MAX truncate the on-wire packet length, causing the server to apply a partial ACL. Replace MaxDataCount = 1000 with min(CIFSMaxBufSize, USHRT_MAX).
