Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] ksmbd: reserve space for the UTF-16 terminator in stream info
Date: Tue,  3 Nov 2026 10:20:30 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103152019.378557-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110318-lanky-disallow-4cf3@gregkh>

From: Abdifatah Suruur <suruurism@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit a025c4991a7d83edc4dd339e3ea86d8ff6226eca ]

smb_strtoUTF16() always writes a terminating zero UTF-16 unit after the
converted characters, but get_file_stream_info() budgets only
sizeof(struct smb2_file_stream_info) + streamlen * 2 for a stream entry
and sizeof(struct smb2_file_stream_info) + 7 * 2 for the trailing
"::$DATA" entry. When an entry exactly fills the 448-byte small response
buffer, the terminator is written two bytes past the allocation.

Reserve one extra UTF-16 unit in both budget checks. The terminator is
not part of the wire format, so the reported lengths are unchanged.
