In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: fix signededness bug in smb_direct_prepare_negotiation()

smb_direct_prepare_negotiation() casts an unsigned __u32 value
from sp->max_recv_size and req->preferred_send_size to a signed
int before computing min_t(int, ...). A maliciously provided
preferred_send_size of 0x80000000 will return as smaller than
max_recv_size, and then be used to set the maximum allowed
alowed receive size for the next message.

By sending a second message with a large value (>1420 bytes)
the attacker can then achieve a heap buffer overflow.

This fix replaces min_t(int, ...) with min_t(u32)
