Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ksmbd: require 3 sub-authorities before reading sub_auth[2]
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 15:46:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026040646-helium-unedited-245a@gregkh> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026040644-brussels-dab-6f99@gregkh>
parse_dacl() compares each ACE SID against sid_unix_NFS_mode and on
match reads sid.sub_auth[2] as the file mode. If sid_unix_NFS_mode is
the prefix S-1-5-88-3 with num_subauth = 2 then compare_sids() compares
only min(num_subauth, 2) sub-authorities so a client SID with
num_subauth = 2 and sub_auth = {88, 3} will match.
If num_subauth = 2 and the ACE is placed at the very end of the security
descriptor, sub_auth[2] will be 4 bytes past end_of_acl. The
out-of-band bytes will then be masked to the low 9 bits and applied as
the file's POSIX mode, probably not something that is good to have
happen.
Fix this up by forcing the SID to actually carry a third sub-authority
before reading it at all.
