Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] smb: server: size directory name conversion buffer correctly
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 12:13:47 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105171319.2151172-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110424-submarine-stool-e2c1@gregkh>

From: VeroFess <coderzeng@hotmail.com>

[ Upstream commit f1f37834eaba5904103af1f18afe3510c7e9dc71 ]

A 2048-byte ASCII directory name needs 4098 bytes when converted to
UTF-16, including the terminator. ksmbd_convert_dir_info_name() caps
its allocation at PATH_MAX and writes past the end of that buffer.

Allocate space for one UTF-16 code unit per input byte plus the
terminator. Use kmalloc_array() to check the size calculation.

Fixes: e2f34481b24d ("cifsd: add server-side procedures for SMB3")

[ sashal: Retained GFP_KERNEL instead of KSMBD_DEFAULT_GFP because the latter is unavailable. ]
