Title
ksmbd: fix slab-out-of-bounds read in ksmbd_alloc_user()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix slab-out-of-bounds read in ksmbd_alloc_user() ksmbd_alloc_user() copies resp->hash_sz bytes out of the mountd IPC login response with user->passkey_sz = resp->hash_sz; user->passkey = kmalloc(resp->hash_sz, KSMBD_DEFAULT_GFP); if (user->passkey) memcpy(user->passkey, resp->hash, resp->hash_sz); resp->hash_sz is a __u16 supplied by the response, but resp->hash[] is only KSMBD_REQ_MAX_HASH_SZ bytes. A malformed or malicious login response can set hash_sz well beyond that (up to 65535), so the memcpy() reads past the end of the response object. ipc_validate_msg() does not bound hash_sz, so reject any response whose hash_sz exceeds the on-stack hash[] buffer before allocating and copying.

SMB2 SESSION_SETUP (smb2_sess_setup \u2192 ntlm_authenticate \u2192 ksmbd_login_user) only supplies the account name that queues ksmbd_ipc_login_request(); it does not carry hash_sz.\nAC:L - The sender sets hash_sz to any __u16 (up to 65535) in a sizeof(ksmbd_login_response) LOGIN_RESPONSE; ipc_validate_msg() has no KSMBD_EVENT_LOGIN_REQUEST case so it never bounds hash_sz. A matching ipc_ida handle is obtained by sending SESSION_SETUP and answering within the 2s IPC wait, with no uncontrolled race.\nPR:L - handle_generic_event() for KSMBD_EVENT_LOGIN_RESPONSE checks netlink_capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) only when CONFIG_SMB_SERVER_CHECK_CAP_NET_ADMIN is set; ksmbd_genl_family is netnsok, the ops lack GENL_ADMIN_PERM, and LOGIN_RESPONSE is not bound to ksmbd_tools_pid. CAP_NET_ADMIN is Low, and builds that disable the check let any local user send it.\nUI:N - The attacker can connect to the local ksmbd TCP listener, send SMB2 SESSION_SETUP so ksmbd_ipc_login_request() waits on the handle, and inject the crafted LOGIN_RESPONSE themselves. No other user must log in or otherwise act once ksmbd is running.\nS:U - The slab over-read in ksmbd_alloc_user() and any oops of the ksmbd-io worker stay inside the host kernel that runs the SMB server. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU/DMA bypass, or other cross-authority impact.\nC:H - memcpy(user-\u003epasskey, resp-\u003ehash, resp-\u003ehash_sz) copies up to 65535 bytes from the 18-byte hash[] (KSMBD_REQ_MAX_HASH_SZ) of a packed ksmbd_login_response into kmalloc(hash_sz), which is an unbounded kernel-heap over-read rather than a few bounded bytes.\nI:N - kmalloc(resp-\u003ehash_sz) sizes the destination to the copy length, so the memcpy is a slab-out-of-bounds read with no OOB write. The LOGIN_RESPONSE sender already supplies uid/gid/account/status without this bug, and NTLM (calc_ntlmv2_hash) only consumes CIFS_ENCPWD_SIZE of passkey.\nA:H - A 65535-byte read from a kmalloc-192 LOGIN_RESPONSE object walks off the slab into unmapped memory and oopses the ksmbd-io worker, matching the KASAN report in ksmbd_alloc_user(). The attacker can repeat SESSION_SETUP plus a crafted LOGIN_RESPONSE to crash the kernel at will."
