That buffer has already been released: by CIFSFindNext() before it installs the new response, or by find_cifs_entry() when it rewinds the search, which does not drop the name either and can then fail in initiate_cifs_search() before a new response replaces it. The next CIFSFindNext() then copies up to PATH_MAX - 1 bytes of the resume name out of the released buffer into its request and sends them to the server: a use-after-free read that leaks kernel memory to a malicious or compromised server, which can provoke it with a single FindNext response that carries no entries and a LastNameOffset above CIFSMaxBufSize, which is all the existing check rejects. With KASAN enabled, a server that answers a listing that way gives: CIFS: VFS: ignoring corrupt resume name ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in CIFSFindNext+0x8ca/0x14c0 Read of size 4080 at addr ffff88807c823f98 by task ls/83 CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 83 Comm: ls Tainted: G B 7.3.0-rc4-00457-gf14572c203d5 #69 PREEMPT(lazy) Tainted: [B]=BAD_PAGE Call Trace: kasan_report+0xdf/0x1a0 kasan_check_range+0x10f/0x1e0 __asan_memcpy+0x23/0x60 CIFSFindNext+0x8ca/0x14c0 cifs_readdir+0xf51/0x29c0 iterate_dir+0x1c0/0x570 __x64_sys_getdents64+0x133/0x270 do_syscall_64+0x109/0x5d0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Allocated by task 83 on cpu 1 at 13.497119s: cifs_buf_get+0x36/0x90 smb_init+0x4f/0x110 CIFSFindNext+0xf7/0x14c0 cifs_readdir+0xf51/0x29c0 Freed by task 83 on cpu 0 at 13.584018s: cifs_buf_release+0x41/0x80 CIFSFindNext+0xfce/0x14c0 cifs_readdir+0xf51/0x29c0 The buggy address is located 16280 bytes inside of freed 16588-byte region [ffff88807c820000, ffff88807c8240cc) ================================================================== The same memcpy() first reads past the end of that object while it is still live, a slab-out-of-bounds read that the following patches bound; that is the taint the report above carries. SMB1 is not negotiated by default; reaching this code requires an explicit vers=1.0 mount. Clear presume_name and resume_name_len whenever a new response is installed and when the rewind path releases the search buffer, so that the name never outlives the buffer it points into, and reset resume_key with them, since it was taken from the same entry and would otherwise be sent with an empty name. A response without a usable last entry then continues the search with an empty resume name rather than a stale one; CIFSFindNext() skips the copy of a zero-length name so that it never runs on the NULL pointer. The next patch in the series leaves last_entry NULL for a response that carries no entries, and bounds LastNameOffset against the received response rather than against CIFSMaxBufSize. Responses that are given a last entry today then take the path fixed here, so that patch must not be applied without this one.
