RHSA-2026:56573 PUBLISHED CVSS 8.100000381469727 HIGH

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's CIFS (Common Internet File System) client. When the `cifs_sanitize_prepath` function processes specially crafted input, such as an empty string or a string containing only delimiters, it can attempt to read data beyond its allocated memory buffer. This out-of-bounds read can lead to a system crash, resulting in a denial of service.
