Subject: [PATCH 01/11] smb: client: fix NextCommand bounds and aliasing UAF in receive_encrypted_standard()
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 13:57:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260823185807.3115901-2-sorenson@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260823185807.3115901-1-sorenson@redhat.com>
Four related bugs in receive_encrypted_standard():
Lower bound: next_cmd is not checked against MID_HEADER_SIZE(server). A
non-zero NextCommand smaller than the SMB2 header size passes the
upper-bound check; memcpy pulls bytes from within the current PDU header
into next_buffer, and the next iteration casts that region as a fresh
smb2_hdr.
Upper bound / trailing slice: the original check uses strict greater-than
(`next_cmd > pdu_length`), so next_cmd == pdu_length passes; memcpy copies
zero bytes, smb2_check_message() rejects the zeroed buffer, ret != 0, and
free_rsp_buf() releases next_buffer (aliasing server->bigbuf) while
allocate_buffers() still holds it: write-after-free. Even with strict
less-than enforced, a next_cmd satisfying next_cmd < pdu_length but
pdu_length - next_cmd < MID_HEADER_SIZE(server) leaves a trailing slice too
small to hold an SMB2 header. The next iteration reads shdr->NextCommand
from uninitialized slab content; if it reads as 0, the else-if (ret != 0)
branch frees next_buffer, again aliasing server->bigbuf: another
write-after-free. Replace with three unsigned comparisons that avoid
addition: `next_cmd > pdu_length` to guard against underflow, then
`pdu_length - next_cmd < MID_HEADER_SIZE(server)` for the trailing slice
minimum. The addition form (`(size_t)next_cmd +
MID_HEADER_SIZE(server) > pdu_length`) wraps to zero on 32-bit
kernels for next_cmd near UINT_MAX, silently admitting out-of-bounds.
Aliasing after goto: once server->bigbuf = buf = next_buffer and the goto
fires, next_buffer still holds the live server->bigbuf pointer. If
smb2_check_message() fails on that iteration, ret != 0 and the else-if path
frees next_buffer, freeing server->bigbuf while it remains referenced.
Set next_buffer = NULL before goto one_more to prevent the aliased pointer
from being freed as a standalone buffer.
Decrypted extent: decrypt_raw_data() moves plaintext to buf[0..buf_size-1]
via memmove, where buf_size = pdu_length -
sizeof(struct smb2_transform_hdr). Using pdu_length as the upper bound
allows next_cmd values in (buf_size, pdu_length], letting buf + next_cmd
land in the stale 52-byte transform-header residue and memcpy to copy
stale ciphertext into next_buffer as if it were the next SMB2 frame.
Assign pdu_length = buf_size after successful decryption so bounds checks
and the per-iteration decrement operate on the correct plaintext extent.
smb2_next_header() already enforces the equivalent lower-bound:
if (unlikely(*noff && *noff < MID_HEADER_SIZE(server)))
return -EINVAL;
Apply the same constraint here.
