ksmbd: reject repeated SMB2 NEGOTIATE requests

2026-08-23T12:18:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit cb469993b3a61a72653770856d37af616d72d05f ] Unauthenticated client can send multiple successful SMB2 NEGOTIATE requests on one connection before SESSION_SETUP. While the connection is in KSMBD_SESS_NEED_SETUP, smb2_handle_negotiate() accepts another SMB3.1.1 NEGOTIATE and overwrites conn->preauth_info with a new allocation. Only the final allocation is freed when the connection is released, leaking one object for every additional successful request. A repeated SMB2 NEGOTIATE after a dialect has been selected is a protocol violation. MS-SMB2 section 3.3.5.4 requires the server to disconnect without replying in this case. Set the connection exiting when rejecting the request, in addition to suppressing the response. Reject SMB2 NEGOTIATE unless the connection is new or is waiting for the SMB2 NEGOTIATE that follows an SMB1 multi-protocol negotiate. Serialize both SMB1 and SMB2 negotiation paths under conn->srv_mutex, since they update connection-wide dialect and negotiation state. Move the locking contract to ksmbd_smb_negotiate_common(), where the state and dialect are selected, and add ksmbd_conn_new() for consistent state access.

ksmbd: validate minimum PDU size for transform requests

2026-08-23T12:18:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit cfc0b8e5080aec87700774e8568765eaa4b7b92b ] The receive path applies the minimum SMB2 PDU size check only when ProtocolId is SMB2_PROTO_NUMBER. A packet carrying SMB2_TRANSFORM_PROTO_NUM bypasses the check even when the negotiated dialect does not provide transform handling. On an SMB 2.1 connection, a short transform packet therefore reaches init_smb2_rsp_hdr(), which interprets the request as a full SMB2 header and reads beyond the request allocation. The copied fields can then be returned to the unauthenticated client. Compression transforms are converted to ordinary SMB2 messages before protocol validation. After that conversion, validate ordinary SMB2 requests against SMB2_MIN_SUPPORTED_PDU_SIZE and require encryption transform requests to contain both a transform header and an SMB2 header. This rejects truncated requests before work allocation.

ksmbd: restore DACL size on check_add_overflow() to avoid malformed ACL

2026-08-23T12:18:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit bbf0a8e931204ecdab494a88d43b0a24a04285c5 ] check_add_overflow() unconditionally writes the truncated sum into *d even on overflow, per its contract in include/linux/overflow.h. The four check_add_overflow() guards in set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() and set_ntacl_dacl() break out of the ACE-building loops on overflow, but the truncated *size is then consumed downstream at the end of set_ntacl_dacl(): pndacl->size = cpu_to_le16(le16_to_cpu(pndacl->size) + size); This produces an on-wire NT ACL whose pndacl->size under-reports the bytes actually written by the preceding fill_ace_for_sid()/memcpy() calls, yielding a malformed ACL that can trigger out-of-bounds reads when re-parsed by clients or ksmbd itself. Restore *size to its pre-addition value on each overflow branch (via `*size -= ace_sz` / `size -= nt_ace_size`) so that after the break, *size once again holds the cumulative size of the successfully-written ACEs. The committed ACL is then truncated-but-self-consistent rather than malformed. The ksmbd DACL builders are the only check_add_overflow() sites found where an overflow path breaks out of a loop and the destination value is consumed afterward. The other nearby break-style cases either return -EINVAL on overflow (transport_ipc.c) or break without consuming the overflowed destination value afterward (buildid.c).

ksmbd: validate num_subauth when copying ACE in set_ntacl_dacl

2026-08-23T12:18:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 47f0b34f6bc98ed85bfdc293e8f3e432ec24958d ] set_ntacl_dacl() copies each ACE from the attacker-controlled stored security descriptor verbatim into the response DACL without checking sid.num_subauth. The ACE bytes (including an unchecked num_subauth) originate from an authenticated SMB2_SET_INFO(SecInfo=DACL) that is stored raw via ksmbd_vfs_set_sd_xattr(); parse_dacl() rejects a bad ACE with `break` rather than an error, so parse_sec_desc() still returns success and the malformed SD reaches the xattr intact. On a subsequent SMB2_QUERY_INFO(SecInfo=DACL) for an inode carrying a POSIX access ACL, build_sec_desc() -> set_ntacl_dacl() -> set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() walks the copied ACEs and reads ntace->sid.sub_auth[ntace->sid.num_subauth - 1] with num_subauth taken straight from the stored SD. Since sub_auth[] is fixed at SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES (15), a crafted num_subauth (e.g. 255) drives an out-of-bounds heap read of ~1 KB with an offset fully controlled by an authenticated client. The sibling functions already gate this field: parse_dacl() -- num_subauth == 0 || > SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES parse_sid() -- num_subauth > SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES smb_copy_sid() -- min_t(u8, num_subauth, SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES) set_ntacl_dacl() is the lone inconsistent path that omits the check. Add the same num_subauth validation in set_ntacl_dacl() before copying the ACE, matching the gate already enforced by parse_dacl().

ksmbd: fix SID memory leak in set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() on overflow

2026-08-23T12:18:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit af92ee994cc7f7e83a41c2025f32257a2f82a7ef ] Commit 299f962c0b02 ("ksmbd: use check_add_overflow() to prevent u16 DACL size overflow") added check_add_overflow() guards that break out of the ACE-building loops in set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() when the accumulated DACL size would wrap past 65535. However, each iteration allocates a struct smb_sid via kmalloc_obj() at the top of the loop and relies on the kfree(sid) call at the end of the loop body (the 'pass_same_sid' label in the first loop, and the explicit kfree at the tail of the second loop) to release it. The newly introduced 'break' statements bypass those kfree() calls, leaking the sid buffer every time an overflow is detected. A malicious or malformed file with enough POSIX ACL entries to trip the overflow check will leak one or more struct smb_sid allocations on every request that touches the file's DACL, providing a trivial kernel memory exhaustion vector. Free sid before breaking out of the loops to plug the leak.
