CVE-2024-26608 (published 2024-03-11)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: fix global oob in ksmbd_nl_policy

Similar to a reported issue (check the commit b33fb5b801c6 ("net:
qualcomm: rmnet: fix global oob in rmnet_policy"), my local fuzzer finds
another global out-of-bounds read for policy ksmbd_nl_policy. See bug
trace below:

To fix it, add a placeholder named __KSMBD_EVENT_MAX and let
KSMBD_EVENT_MAX to be its original value - 1 according to what other
netlink families do. Also change two sites that refer the
KSMBD_EVENT_MAX to correct value.
