In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix one-byte OOB read in smb2_parse_native_symlink()
When parsing a share-root relative native symlink, memcpy copies
smb_target+1 (skipping the leading separator) but uses
strlen(smb_target)+1 as the length, reading one byte past the
allocated buffer.
This fixes the following KASAN splat when accessing an SMB symlink
with a target of '\a\b':
