CVE-2011-3191 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Integer signedness error in the CIFSFindNext function in fs/cifs/cifssmb.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 allows remote CIFS servers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large length value in a response to a read request for a directory.. EPSS estimates a 1.09% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
