Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: fix OOB read in ksmbd_validate_name_reconnect()
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 14:33:39 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927063339.1731061-1-zhangdairui@gmail.com> (raw)

ksmbd_validate_name_reconnect() indexes
ab_pathname[share->path_sz + 1] without checking that the path is
longer than share->path_sz + 1 (d_path() fills the buffer from the
end). A durable fp is not bound to its original share, so a client
can preserve a file from a short-path share and reconnect it on a
long-path share, making strcmp() read past the PATH_MAX buffer -
with a long enough share path this oopses the kernel, and on a
mapped page it also gives a byte-equality oracle on adjacent heap
(the reconnect succeeds exactly when the out-of-bounds string
equals the requested name). A same-share variant with the durable
fp at the share root reads 1 byte past the buffer
(strlen(ab_pathname) == share->path_sz).

Check the prefix before indexing: the path must be longer than
share->path_sz and the next character must be '/'. The comparison
for the valid case is unchanged.

Fixes: c8efcc786146 ("ksmbd: add support for durable handles v1/v2")
