Subject: [PATCH v5 2/9] smb: client: validate minimum PDU size before smb2_get_data_area_len()
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 16:33:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916213406.1496960-3-sorenson@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916213406.1496960-1-sorenson@redhat.com>
__smb2_calc_size() calls smb2_get_data_area_len(), which reads
command-specific struct fields to locate the data area. However,
smb2_check_message() only validates StructureSize2, meaning a truncated
response could cause smb2_get_data_area_len() to read out-of-bounds.
Replace has_smb2_data_area[] with smb2_min_pdu_len[], which is now
used to indicate both whether a command's response has a data area
and the size of that fixed response struct. A non-zero entry means
the command has a data area, and is the minimum length required
before the struct is read.
For each command with a data area, PDUs shorter than this minimum size
are rejected instead of parsed.
The minimum is not applied to SMB2 error responses, which carry only
the 9-byte error body, the same exemption the StructureSize2 check
above it already makes. STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED is
treated as a normal reply, since an in-progress SESSION_SETUP
response carries a full body and a security blob.
