Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] smb: client: validate the data area in SMB2_read()
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 19:46:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106004456.3427593-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110422-kitty-unlocking-dd52@gregkh>

From: Abdifatah Suruur <suruurism@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 2ec9cdf469dd32bcf33073aeb30c08e9356e0ca1 ]

SMB2_read() copies le32_to_cpu(rsp->DataLength) bytes from
(char *)rsp + rsp->DataOffset without checking that the range lies
within the response actually received. A READ response with
DataOffset == 0 makes smb2_get_data_area_len() zero the data length, so
smb2_check_message() accepts a frame as short as the fixed response,
while SMB2_read() still uses the server-supplied DataLength, capped only
by CIFS_MAX_MSGSIZE and the caller's length.

A malicious server can answer the synchronous read used by the
mfsymlinks (or SFU) symlink parser with an 81-byte READ response
carrying DataOffset 0 and DataLength 1067, making the client copy 1067
bytes from a 448-byte receive object (KASAN slab-out-of-bounds; up to
16 KiB in the general case).

Clamp a zero (or header-overlapping) DataOffset to read_rsp_size, as
handle_read_data() does for the asynchronous path, and reject the
response unless DataOffset + DataLength fits within rsp_iov.iov_len.
The SMB1 helper was fixed the same way in 5be5bdda5863.
