From: Bryam Vargas <[email protected]> Commit 83bfbd0bb902 ("cifs: Remove the RFC1002 header from smb_hdr") changed the quantity this bound is measured against. It used to be srv->total_read minus the 4-byte RFC1002 preamble that total_read then included, so it was the SMB message length. The same commit stopped counting the preamble, and the mechanical substitution to srv->total_read - srv->pdu_size left an expression that is identically zero: standard_receive3() reads MID_HEADER_SIZE() bytes and then exactly pdu_length - MID_HEADER_SIZE() more, adding both to total_read. len is therefore 0, the subtraction below it wraps, and no __u32 DataOffset can exceed the result, so the check from commit 097f5863b1a0 ("cifs: read overflow in is_valid_oplock_break()") no longer rejects anything. Use total_read, which is now the message length on its own. Fixes: 83bfbd0bb902 ("cifs: Remove the RFC1002 header from smb_hdr") Cc: [email protected] Signed-off-by: Bryam Vargas <[email protected]> --- The two derefs only run when cifs_dbg(FYI, ...) evaluates its arguments, that is with cifsFYI set and the pr_debug callsite live. Without either, pr_debug_ratelimited() is no_printk() and nothing is touched, which is why I'm sending this as a hardening fix rather than a security report. It is not hypothetical either: usage.rst tells people to `echo 7 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI` when troubleshooting, and distro kernels build with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y. Reproducer. A fake SMB1 server that answers negprot and then pushes one unsolicited SMB_COM_NT_TRANSACT response carrying SMBFLG_RESPONSE, BCC 16 and a chosen DataOffset. A frame matching no pending mid falls through to ->is_oplock_break() in cifs_demultiplex_thread(), so neither a session nor a tree connect is needed, and the read happens in the cifsd thread. A/B on v7.2-rc1 with KASAN, cifs built with -DDEBUG so pr_debug evaluates its arguments, all three arms in one boot with kasan.fault=report: DataOffset 40, unpatched: "dnotify on Action: 0x0" -- both derefs run, clean DataOffset 512, patched: "Invalid data_offset 512" -- rejected before the deref, clean DataOffset 512, unpatched: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in is_valid_oplock_break.cold+0x177/0x20f [cifs] Read of size 4 at addr ffff888119929604 by task cifsd/2308 is_valid_oplock_break.cold+0x177/0x20f [cifs] cifs_demultiplex_thread+0xb2a/0x2320 [cifs] The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888119929600 which belongs to the cache cifs_small_rq of size 448 The buggy address is located 4 bytes inside of freed 448-byte region [ffff888119929600, ffff8881199297c0) Freed by task 2307: cifs_small_buf_release+0x3b/0xd0 [cifs] SendReceive+0x1e8/0x6b0 [cifs] CIFSSMBNegotiate+0x3a0/0x1750 [cifs] 512 past a 448-byte cifs_small_rq object lands in the next slot, which at that moment held the negprot buffer freed a few lines earlier -- hence use-after-free rather than out-of-bounds. The primitive is the displacement; what it lands on is whatever the pool happens to hold. 83bfbd0bb902 first appeared in v6.19-rc1. What this does not close: the bound covers the fixed part of the record, but the FileName the next line prints with %s is a flex array, FileNameLength is never read, and nothing guarantees a NUL, so that walk can still leave the frame. It has been that way since the code was imported, so it is not part of this regression, and I haven't reproduced it, so folding an unmeasured change into a fix headed for stable would be the wrong call. Happy to make it a two-patch series if you'd prefer them together. --- fs/smb/client/smb1misc.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/smb/client/smb1misc.c b/fs/smb/client/smb1misc.c index ba56023010d8..cdfbbff24b72 100644 --- a/fs/smb/client/smb1misc.c +++ b/fs/smb/client/smb1misc.c @@ -80,7 +80,8 @@ is_valid_oplock_break(char *buffer, struct TCP_Server_Info *srv) (struct smb_com_transaction_change_notify_rsp *)buf; struct file_notify_information *pnotify; __u32 data_offset = 0; - size_t len = srv->total_read - srv->pdu_size; + /* total_read excludes the RFC1002 preamble */ + size_t len = srv->total_read; if (get_bcc(buf) > sizeof(struct file_notify_information)) { data_offset = le32_to_cpu(pSMBr->DataOffset); --- base-commit: 4235cb24ec1e8e96843f3671ba4da2a6ccca2c7b change-id: 20260728-b4-disp-22baa716-4387cfe15c2b Best regards, -- Bryam Vargas <[email protected]>
