smb: client: Zero-pad short GSS session keys per MS-SMB2
Per MS-SMB2 section 3.2.5.3, Session.SessionKey is the first 16 bytes
of the GSS cryptographic key, right-padded with zero bytes if the key
is shorter than 16 bytes.
SMB2_auth_kerberos() copies the GSS session key from the cifs.upcall
response using kmemdup(msg->data, msg->sesskey_len, ...) and stores
the GSS-reported length verbatim in ses->auth_key.len. generate_key()
reads SMB2_NTLMV2_SESSKEY_SIZE bytes from this buffer when feeding the
HMAC-SHA256 KDF for signing key derivation. If a GSS mechanism returns
a session key shorter than 16 bytes (e.g. a deprecated single-DES
Kerberos enctype with an 8-byte session key), the KDF call performs an
out-of-bounds slab read and derives keys that do not match the server,
which pads per the spec.
Modern KDCs disable short-key enctypes by default, so this is latent
rather than reachable in production, but it is still a kernel heap
over-read.
Allocate auth_key.response with kzalloc() at a length of
max(msg->sesskey_len, SMB2_NTLMV2_SESSKEY_SIZE), copy the GSS key in,
and rely on kzalloc()'s zero initialization for the spec-mandated
padding. Set ses->auth_key.len to the padded length. Larger GSS keys
(e.g. the 32-byte aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 session key) continue to be
stored at their natural length, preserving the FullSessionKey path.
Emit a cifs_dbg(VFS, ...) message when a short key is encountered to
surface deprecated-enctype usage.
NTLMv2 and NTLMSSP code paths produce a 16-byte session key by
construction and are unaffected.
