**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 3.1 **Description** The issue is related to an integer signedness error in the CIFSFindNext function, which can be exploited by remote CIFS servers. This error occurs when a large length value is included in a response to a read request for a directory, potentially causing a denial of service due to memory corruption. There may be other unspecified impacts as well. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.1, update to version 3.1 or later to resolve the issue.
