In FreeBSD through 11.1, the smb_strdupin function in sys/netsmb/smb_subr.c has a race condition with a resultant out-of-bounds read, because it can cause t2p->t_name strings to lack a final '\0' character.

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
