Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: fix out-of-bounds read when padding the final compound response
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 20:40:21 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027014021.108390-1-icb@fastmail.org> (raw)

Compound response handling pads the last response of a compound to an
8-byte boundary by growing the final iov and the RFC1002 length.
smb2_allocate_rsp_buf() allocates exactly response_sz. A command can
fill the response buffer to within 7 bytes of its end, for example a
QUERY_INFO whose output is bounded only by the space left. The padding
can then run past the allocation, and ksmbd_tcp_writev() reads those
bytes when it sends the response.

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in _copy_from_iter+0x744/0x10e0
  Call Trace:
   _copy_from_iter+0x744/0x10e0
   tcp_sendmsg_locked+0x2290/0x3f80
   ksmbd_tcp_writev+0x10c7/0x1ab0 [ksmbd]

Allocate room for the padding when the request is a compound, as
smb2_read() and smb2_read_pipe() do for their payloads. response_sz is
unchanged, so commands still fill only up to it, and kvzalloc() zeroes
the padding.

Notes:
    The bug needs a client to send a compound request whose last command
    fills the response buffer to within 7 bytes of its end, at an offset
    that is not a multiple of 8. The reproducer uses QUERY_INFO
    FILE_ALL_INFORMATION as the last command, after QUERY_DIRECTORY
    commands that fill the buffer. On a share that allows guest access
    (guest ok) it is reachable without credentials.
    
    This follows 73f860489e3b ("ksmbd: zero pipe read compound padding"),
    which fixed the same padding for smb2_read_pipe()'s payload buffer.
    
    A reproducer is available on request.
    
    This fix was developed with LLM assistance (code review and KASAN
    reproduction).
    
    Tested on ksmbd-for-next 146c3fc6540e with only this patch applied,
    under KASAN. "smb2 max trans" was lowered to 65560 so that response_sz
    ends at a KASAN redzone. Before the patch, the compound above triggers a
    KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read in _copy_from_iter() during the socket
    send. After it, the last response is still padded to 8 bytes, the
    padding is zero, QUERY_INFO returns its full output and KASAN stays
    quiet.
