Subject: [PATCH v2] smb: client: fix integer underflow in receive_encrypted_read()
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:24:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415102424.65161-1-phx0fer@gmail.com> (raw)
In receive_encrypted_read(), the length of data to read from the socket
is computed as:
len = le32_to_cpu(tr_hdr->OriginalMessageSize) -
server->vals->read_rsp_size;
OriginalMessageSize comes from the server's transform header and is
untrusted. If a malicious server sends a value smaller than
read_rsp_size, the unsigned subtraction wraps to a very large value
(~4GB). This value is then passed to netfs_alloc_folioq_buffer() and
cifs_read_iter_from_socket(), causing either a massive allocation
attempt that fails with -ENOMEM (DoS), or under extreme memory
pressure, potential heap corruption.
Fix by adding a check that OriginalMessageSize is at least
read_rsp_size before the subtraction. On failure, jump to
discard_data to drain the remaining PDU from the socket, preventing
desync of subsequent reads on the connection.
