Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: fix one-byte OOB read in smb2_parse_native_symlink()
Date: Wed,  9 Sep 2026 20:07:48 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909230748.1226168-1-pc@manguebit.org> (raw)

When parsing a share-root relative native symlink, memcpy copies
smb_target+1 (skipping the leading separator) but uses
strlen(smb_target)+1 as the length, reading one byte past the
allocated buffer.

This fixes the following KASAN splat when accessing an SMB symlink
with a target of '\a\b':

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in smb2_parse_native_symlink+0x4f5/0xca0
