Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] smb: client: fix DACL rewrite overflows
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 16:09:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908161001.2603610-1-doebel@amazon.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904125844.1803343-1-doebel@amazon.de>
Two overflow fixes in the CIFS DACL owner/group rewrite path:
1. Patch 1 fixes a heap overflow when copying ACEs whose total size
exceeds what kmalloc() allocated. The allocation used the old
(pre-rewrite) ACE count, but the copy loop iterated over the new
count.
2. Patch 2 fixes a u16 accumulator overflow in the size calculation
that could wrap around for DACLs with 800+ ACEs, causing the
check in patch 1 to pass despite the actual size exceeding 64KB.
Returns -EOVERFLOW when this would occur.
Changes since v2:
- Patch 1 unchanged (already Reviewed-by Namjae Jeon)
- Patch 2: widened nsize from u16 to u32 and added explicit overflow
guard instead of relying on check_add_overflow (which gcc optimized
away for a u16 accumulator)
- Patch 2: fixed build_sec_desc() to propagate error from set_chmod_dacl()
when it fails (discovered during testing)
Bjoern Doebel (2):
smb: client: fix heap overflow in DACL owner/group rewrite
smb: client: fail DACL rewrite when the new DACL exceeds 64K
