Subject: [PATCH 7.1.y] ksmbd: fix path resolution in ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_create
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 21:45:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716014517.777818-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071457-shrank-luster-94bc@gregkh>

From: Davide Ornaghi <d.ornaghi97@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 1c8951963d8ed357f70f59e0ad4ddce2199d2016 ]

The SMB2 open lookup is rooted at the share with LOOKUP_BENEATH, but the
create/mkdir/hardlink sink is not: ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_create() builds an
absolute path with convert_to_unix_name() and resolves it from AT_FDCWD
via start_creating_path(), so a ".." component is walked from the real
filesystem root and escapes the export.

An authenticated client races a missing path component so the rooted open
lookup returns -ENOENT (taking the create branch) while the same component
is present (a directory) when the create walk runs; the create then
resolves ".." out of the share.

Root the create walk at the share like the lookup and rename paths already
are: resolve the parent with vfs_path_parent_lookup(..., LOOKUP_BENEATH,
&share_conf->vfs_path) and create the final component with
start_creating_noperm(). convert_to_unix_name() then has no callers and is
removed.

Fixes: 265fd1991c1d ("ksmbd: use LOOKUP_BENEATH to prevent the out of share access")
