In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  SUNRPC: Reject short RFC 4121 MIC tokens in gsskrb5verifymicv2  gsskrb5verifymicv2() reads the token ID at ptr[0..1], the flags byte at ptr[2], and padding at ptr[3..7], then passes ptr + GSSKRB5TOKHDRLEN and cksumlen to gsskrb5micbuildsg(). None of these accesses check readtoken->len first.  The minimum safe token size is GSSKRB5TOKHDRLEN (16) plus ctx->krb5e->cksumlen (12-24, depending on the enctype).  All callers accept shorter tokens from the wire:   - gssunwraprespinteg() enforces only an upper bound    (offset + len <= rcvbuf->len) before allocating    mic.data = kmalloc(len) and passing it to gssverifymic().    A malicious NFS server can therefore supply a short checksum    opaque, producing a small slab allocation that the Kerberos MIC    verifier reads past.   - gssvalidate() enforces only len <= RPCMAXAUTHSIZE (400)    before passing the wire-supplied length to    gssvalidateseqnomic(), which constructs a mic xdrnetobj    and calls gssverifymic().   - svcauthgssverifyheader() enforces only    checksum.len >= XDRUNIT (4 bytes) before dispatching to    gssverifymic().   - svcauthgssunwrapinteg() checks only that the checksum fits    in gsd->gsdscratch.  Add a length guard at the top of gsskrb5verifymicv2(), before any ptr[] access or scatterlist construction.  Well-formed MIC tokens from gsskrb5getmicv2() already have exactly GSSKRB5TOKHDRLEN + cksumlen bytes, so valid traffic is unaffected.
