SMB: Linux Kernel ksmbd SMB2_QUERY_INFO Handling NULL Pointer Dereference

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Linux Kernel. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.

Extended Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd, a high-performance in-kernel SMB server. The specific flaw exists within the handling of SMB2_TREE_CONNECT and SMB2_QUERY_INFO commands. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a pointer prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition on the system.
