Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix use-before-check of ReparseDataLength in reparse_buf_ptr()
reparse_buf_ptr() reads buf->ReparseDataLength before checking that
count covers the full fixed header:
buf = (struct reparse_data_buffer *)((u8 *)io + off);
len = sizeof(*buf); /* 8 bytes */
rdlen = le16_to_cpu(buf->ReparseDataLength); /* offset 4, 2 bytes */
if (count < len || count < rdlen + len) /* check comes after */
struct reparse_data_buffer has ReparseDataLength at offset 4. If a
server returns OutputCount < 6, the read at offset 4-5 reaches past
the end of the received data. The off+count bounds against iov_len
were already validated, but that does not protect against count being
smaller than sizeof(*buf).
Split the check: verify count >= sizeof(*buf) before reading
ReparseDataLength, then verify count covers the data region.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-89632 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
