Subject: [PATCH] mount.cifs: fix buffer overrun in set_password
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 11:09:11 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331000911.16062-1-ddiss@suse.de> (raw)
The existing (j > pass_length) check is insufficient to avoid dst buffer
overrun into the start of the adjacent struct parsed_mount_info field.
Check for overrun before writing to dst, and account for comma-expansion
and null-termination.
Bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16044
