CVE-2025-39933 is an improper input-validation vulnerability in the Linux kernel SMB client. The SMB receive-completion path, recv_done, did not verify the data_offset, data_length, and remaining_data_length fields before processing an SMB response. The correction adds validation of these response-length and offset values, preventing malformed SMB protocol data from being processed with inconsistent bounds.
