ksmbd signs some SESSION_SETUP and error responses with a session's key
without having verified the request, which lets a peer that does not hold
the key obtain signatures made with it. This series fixes those cases,
makes ksmbd sign with the SMB 3.1.1 signing algorithm it negotiated, and
fixes related problems found in review.
1/8 verifies multichannel binding requests with the session signing key
(MS-SMB2 3.3.5.2.4), as reported by Ian Bridges.
2/8 keeps the negotiated SMB 3.1.1 signing algorithm instead of always
using AES-CMAC, and signs each key with its own algorithm.
3/8 verifies signed reauthentication requests and uses the channel key
for session setup on a bound channel. A reauthentication with a
forged signature used to get a response signed with the session key.
4/8 refuses a binding request on a connection that is already a channel
of the session.
5/8 checks the MessageId and signature of a request before signing
STATUS_NETWORK_SESSION_EXPIRED, also reported by Ian Bridges.
6/8 makes the signing decision in a compound follow each command's own
header instead of the first command's.
7/8 consumes the MessageId of a request on an unknown, invalid or
expired session, which the error path skipped.
8/8 charges and grants credits for such a request, which the error path
also skipped.
Changes in v6, following Sashiko's review of v5:
- 1/8: read the session state once in the multichannel binding branch.
The signature check sits between the checks for a session in setup
and for an expired one, and a reauthentication on another channel
could move the session from expired to in progress in between.
- 1/8: refuse a binding request for a guest or anonymous session before
verifying its signature, with STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED. ksmbd derives the
signing key of such a session from an all-zero session key, so a
request signed with it proved nothing, and the other binding branch
signed its refusal with it.
- 3/8: an unsigned reauthentication of a session that requires signing
was accepted if it arrived in an encrypted message and the session
uses encryption. A related operation in an encrypted compound can name
another session than the one whose key encrypted the message, so the
session of the transform header must now be the one being
reauthenticated.
- 3/8: take work->session_setup_binding from the request's
SMB2_SESSION_REQ_FLAG_BINDING instead of conn->binding. conn->binding
is not yet set when a binding request fails early, and stays set after
a binding has completed on the connection. So the refusal of a binding
request with multichannel disabled could be added to the session's
preauth integrity hash, and a failed SESSION_SETUP chained after a
command on a channel could be signed with the session key instead of
the channel key.
- 8/8: when a CANCEL answered on the failed-session path ends a
compound, its response now reports the credits granted to the earlier
commands. v5 left them out.
- Based on ksmbd-for-next, to which v5 applied without changes.
Not changed:
- 6/8: Sashiko noted again that a SESSION_SETUP chained after a command
is checked against that command's session. A binding request in a
compound is already refused during message validation, since commit
19f8fd6b5ced ("ksmbd: prevent session binding in compound requests").
An unsigned SESSION_SETUP for a new session, chained after a signed
command on a session that requires signing, was refused with
STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED before the series as well. See also the note on
6/8 under v5 below.
Testing of v6, on a KASAN/lockdep UML kernel based on next-20261105
with the ksmbd-for-next commits since then: a compound of an ECHO and a
CANCEL that names an unknown session now reports the ECHO's credits
(v5: none); the tests listed for v5 below pass as before; smbtorture
gives the same results as with v5; and each patch builds on its own with
W=1. The other changes in v6 have no test of their own.
v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cifs/20261112044645.4074-1-mike.michalo@gmail.com/
Changes in v5, following Sashiko's and Ian Bridges' reviews of v4 and
another review of the series:
- 1/8: refuse a binding request for a session that is still being set
up before verifying its signature, in both binding branches. Such a
session has no signing key yet, and v4 verified the request against
the all-zero key. It gets the STATUS_REQUEST_NOT_ACCEPTED of 3.3.5.5
(3.3.5.2.4 would answer STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED, as the key is NULL).
SMB2_SESSION_VALID is now set with smp_store_release(), so a session
seen as valid has its key.
- 1/8: with multichannel disabled, the refusal of a correctly signed
binding request from an SMB 3.x connection to an SMB 2.x session was
signed with the session's SMB 3.x signing key, which is all zeroes for
such a session. It is now signed with smb2_set_sign_rsp().
- 1/8: drop the unused hdr argument of the session-setup helper, and
shorten the commit message.
- 2/8: no code change. The commit message presented using the session
key with the algorithm of the connection that set up the session as
something MS-SMB2 requires. As Ian Bridges pointed out, the
specification takes the algorithm from the connection; the patch
follows what the Samba client and smbd do, and the message now says
so.
- 3/8: remember in sess->sign_required that signing was required when
the session was set up, since negotiating encryption clears
sess->sign. v4 derived it from the connection, which missed a client
that asks for signing only in SESSION_SETUP and a channel whose
connection does not require signing.
- 3/8: apply the reauthentication checks to every session that has a
user rather than only where the connection is a channel. SMB 2.x
sessions have no channels, so the second leg of the reauthentication
of an expired SMB 2.x session was not checked, and a forged one
destroyed the session.
- 3/8: copy conn->binding into work->session_setup_binding before the
error path clears it.
- 3/8: treat an encrypted request as authenticated only on a session
that uses encryption.
- 4/8 is new: refuse a binding request on a connection that is already
a channel of the session. Sashiko noted it on 3/6; it was already so
before the series, so it is a patch of its own.
- 3/8 and 5/8: commit message corrections. 3/8 now lists what MS-SMB2
says about the key of a reauthentication on a bound channel; see
below.
- 8/8 is new. Sashiko noted on 4/6 that a request answered on the
failed-session path is never charged its credits and gets none. That
was already so before the series, so it is fixed in a patch of its
own. It leaves out SMB2 CANCEL, which consumes no credit. The problem
goes back to the first version of ksmbd's request loop, so its Fixes
tag points there.
Not changed:
- 1/8: Sashiko suggested checking the ClientGUID, the session state and
the user before the signature, in the order 3.3.5.5 lists them. The
signature stays first: 3.3.5.2.4 verifies it while the request is
received, before the command is processed, as 5/8 also assumes, and
a request without the key then learns little about the session:
whether it exists, is still being set up or (since v6) is a guest or
anonymous session. The
refusals of a binding request before it has been verified are
unsigned, as they were before the series.
- 3/8: a reauthentication on a channel that was bound to the session is
verified and answered with that channel's key, as the Samba client
and smbd do. MS-SMB2 does not give one key for it: 3.3.5.2.4 has the
server verify the request with Channel.SigningKey and 3.2.4.1.1 has
the client sign it with Session.SigningKey; 3.3.4.1.1 has the server
sign a SESSION_SETUP response with Session.SigningKey unless it is
STATUS_SUCCESS, and 3.3.5.5.3 a final non-binding response too. On
the session's first connection the two keys are the same. I have not
tested this against Windows.
- 6/8: Sashiko noted that a signed SESSION_SETUP for another session,
chained after a command, is now checked against the earlier
command's session and refused. That is right for related operations
(3.3.5.2.7.2), and ksmbd already refuses unrelated commands on
different sessions in one compound, although 3.3.5.2.7.1 would handle
them separately. The same check keeps the refusal of a forged chained
SESSION_SETUP from being signed with the earlier session's key:
leaving SESSION_SETUP out of it made the refusal signed. A test now
covers this.
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cifs/20261110165834.28162-1-mike.michalo@gmail.com/
Changes in v4, following Namjae's review of v3 (numbered as in v4; v4's
4/6 to 6/6 are now 5/8 to 7/8):
- 1/6: smb2_check_sign_req() and smb3_check_sign_req() now restore the
Signature field themselves, using their signature_req buffer, instead
of the session-setup helper saving and restoring it.
- 2/6: use SMB2_HMACSHA256_SIZE for the HMAC-SHA256 buffer.
- 3/6: no longer changes __process_request(), as the check helpers now
restore the field it used to restore there.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cifs/20261109194144.22814-1-mike.michalo@gmail.com/
Changes in v3, following Sashiko's review of v2:
- 1/6: correct a missing negation on the multichannel flag, so an SMB 3.x
binding request received while multichannel is disabled is verified
and rejected in the non-multichannel branch instead of falling through
to the reauthentication path.
- 3/6: also refuse an unsigned, unencrypted reauthentication when the
session requires signing or encryption. Negotiating encryption clears
sess->sign even when the connection required signing, so the v2 check
let such a reauthentication through. Merely having negotiated
encryption is not treated as a requirement, since clients routinely
negotiate it and then send unsigned, unencrypted requests.
- 5/6 is new. With signing not required, a signed later command was
processed without its signature being checked, a correctly signed one
got an unsigned response, and an unsigned one after a signed first
command was refused. It also decides whether to sign each response
before moving on to the next command of the compound.
- 6/6 is new. Only a signed request on an expired session had its
MessageId checked (by 4/6); any other failed-session request left it
unconsumed, pinning the command sequence window and letting a replayed
MessageId be answered again. 4/6's own check moves to the common path,
so the MessageId is consumed exactly once.
Testing of v5, on a KASAN/lockdep UML kernel based on next-20261105.
New tests, each failing on v4 and passing on v5:
- a binding request for a session still in setup gets
STATUS_REQUEST_NOT_ACCEPTED whether its signature is random or made
with an all-zero key (v4 answered the two differently);
- a binding request with a bad signature gets STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
whatever its ClientGUID and for an expired session, while a correctly
signed one gets STATUS_USER_SESSION_DELETED and
STATUS_NETWORK_SESSION_EXPIRED there (this one passes on v4 too);
- the refusal of an SMB 3.1.1 bind to an SMB 2.1 session verifies with
the session key (v4: with an all-zero key);
- during the reauthentication of an expired SMB 2.1 session, an unsigned
or badly signed second leg is refused and the real one then succeeds
(v4: the forged leg destroyed the session);
- a second binding request on a bound channel is refused (v4: answered
with STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED);
- with signing asked for only in SESSION_SETUP and encryption
negotiated, an unsigned, unencrypted reauthentication is refused (v4:
accepted), and an encrypted one is still accepted;
- 8/8: 40 requests on an unknown session right after NEGOTIATE, and 300
on an expired session, are all answered and their responses grant
credits (without 8/8: one and 127 answered, then the connection is
dropped); a signed one still gets a response that verifies; and
CANCELs naming an unknown session are granted no credits and leave
their MessageId usable;
- a signed reauthentication of one session chained after a command on
another session, or a forged one, is refused, and the refusal is
signed with neither session's key.
The binding, expired-session, compound (including SESSION_SETUP inside a
compound), encrypted-reauthentication and sequence-number tests pass as
with v3 and v4, the Linux cifs client works signed and encrypted, and
each patch builds on its own with W=1.
Testing of v3, on a KASAN/lockdep UML kernel with ksmbd-tools:
- forged and replayed binding, reauthentication and expired-session
requests, also inside compounds, get unsigned refusals with AES-CMAC
and HMAC-SHA256;
- new targeted tests for 3/6, 5/6 and 6/6, each failing on the kernel
without the fix and passing with it (5/6: each response of a compound
mixing signed and unsigned commands is signed exactly when its request
is). The 3/6 test uses an SMB 3.1.1 client with AES-128-GCM
encryption: an unsigned reauthentication is allowed when the session
requires neither signing nor encryption, refused when the client
required signing, and an encrypted one is allowed;
- randomized requests against these paths, and 8- and 16-thread
bind/reauth/logoff stress (about 130,000 operations), found no signed
response to an unverified request and no KASAN or lockdep report;
- the Linux cifs client works with SMB 2.1 to 3.1.1, signed and
encrypted, and recovers after its session expires;
- smbtorture's session, signing, I/O, compound, lock, oplock, lease,
notify and ioctl suites give the same results as without the series.
With multichannel disabled, the session tests also pass and fail as
without the series; six binding tests that fail either way (the d and
s variants of bind_negative_smb2to3, smb3to3 and smb3encGtoC) now get
STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED or STATUS_REQUEST_NOT_ACCEPTED instead of
STATUS_USER_SESSION_DELETED (they expect STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER),
since 1/6 now rejects such a binding request in the binding branch.
Ian Bridges also tested an earlier revision with his own probes and
smbtorture. Not tested: Windows clients, and Kerberos expiry with a real
KDC (it was emulated with a test-only change).
An AI assistant was used to draft the patches and as an independent
reviewer.

When multichannel is enabled, smb2_sess_setup() accepts a binding
request on a new connection once it finds the session and sees
SMB2_FLAGS_SIGNED, but never checks the signature: SESSION_SETUP is
exempt from the generic check in __process_request(), because
work->sess is not set for it. The request then goes through
authentication, and the response is signed with the session's signing
key, since the request claims to be signed.
So anyone who knows a SessionId and ClientGUID can open a connection
and have the server sign STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED responses with
another client's session key, each with a fresh NTLM challenge and at a
MessageId of their choice: a signing oracle.
MS-SMB2 3.3.5.2.4 requires the server to verify a binding request with
Session.SigningKey and to fail it with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED if that
fails. It does so while receiving the message, before the checks of
3.3.5.5, so do it right after the check that the request is signed. The
failure response is not signed, because work->sess is only set once the
request has been accepted.
smb2_check_sign_req() and smb3_check_sign_req() zero the Signature
field in place to compute the MAC. Restore it in both before they
return, as generate_preauth_hash() later hashes the request as received
into the channel's SMB 3.1.1 preauth integrity hash.
A session that is still being set up has no signing key yet: the key is
all zeroes until authentication completes. Refuse a binding request for
it before verifying, in both binding branches, with the
STATUS_REQUEST_NOT_ACCEPTED that 3.3.5.5 gives for such a session
(3.3.5.2.4 would answer STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED, as the key is NULL), so
that a request is never verified against a missing key. Set
SMB2_SESSION_VALID with smp_store_release() and read the state with
smp_load_acquire(), so that a session seen as valid has its key.
Read the state once for all the checks of the binding branch, so that
they agree. The signature check now sits between the check for a
session in setup and the one for an expired session, and a
reauthentication on another channel can move the session from expired
to in progress in between, so that neither check refused the request.
A guest or anonymous session has no real signing key either: ksmbd
derives it from an all-zero session key, so a binding request signed
with it proves nothing, and the other binding branch would sign its
refusal with it. Refuse a binding request for such a session before
verifying it, with the STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED of 3.3.5.5, and do not
verify against its key in the other branch.
The other binding branch, which rejects a binding request that is not a
valid multichannel bind, verifies the signature as well. A missing
negation on the multichannel flag made that branch unreachable for an
SMB 3.x request when multichannel is disabled: such a request fell
through to the reauthentication path instead and was answered with an
unsigned STATUS_USER_SESSION_DELETED. Correct the condition so the
request is verified and rejected there.
That branch signs its refusal of a verified request with the session's
key. An SMB 3.x connection binding to an SMB 2.x session now gets there
too, and the connection's own handler would sign with the SMB 3.x
signing key, which such a session does not have. Sign that response
with smb2_set_sign_rsp(), as is already done the other way round.
An AI assistant was used to draft the patch and as an independent
reviewer.

decode_sign_cap_ctxt() stores the algorithm picked from the client's
SMB2_SIGNING_CAPABILITIES context in conn->signing_algorithm, but it
runs before init_smb3_11_server(), which then overwrites it with
AES-CMAC. As a result the negotiate response always selects AES-CMAC,
even for a client that only offered HMAC-SHA256, and every SMB 3.1.1
connection is signed with AES-CMAC.
Keep the negotiated algorithm and sign with HMAC-SHA256 when that is
what was negotiated.
Connections of the same session can now have negotiated different
algorithms. MS-SMB2 takes the algorithm from the connection a message
travels on (3.1.4.1, 3.1.5.1), and a client that follows 3.2.4.2.2.2
offers only the already negotiated algorithm on further connections, so
for it nothing differs. A client that offers another list on a new
connection, as the Samba client can, signs the binding request with the
session signing key and the algorithm of the connection that set up the
session. smbd verifies it that way, and smbtorture's
smb2.session.bind_negative_smb3signCtoH and HtoC tests expect such a
bind to succeed. Do the same: store that connection's algorithm in the
session and use it together with the session key, while channel keys
keep using their own connection's algorithm.
An AI assistant was used to draft the patch and as an independent
reviewer. Testing is described in the cover letter.

smb3_check_sign_req() always uses the session signing key for
SESSION_SETUP, and smb3_set_sign_rsp() does for every SESSION_SETUP
response but the final one of a binding. That is right for a binding
request and its non-final responses (MS-SMB2 3.3.5.2.4, 3.3.5.5.3), but
a reauthentication sent on a channel that is already bound is then also
verified and signed with the session key instead of that channel's
key.
Use the session key for binding requests, for their non-final
responses, and for SESSION_SETUP on a connection that is not yet a
channel of the session. Use the channel key for everything else on a
channel, as the Samba client and smbd do. MS-SMB2 does not give one key
for a reauthentication on such a channel: 3.3.5.2.4 has the server
verify the request with Channel.SigningKey, while 3.2.4.1.1 has the
client sign it with Session.SigningKey. 3.3.4.1.1 has the server sign a
SESSION_SETUP response with Session.SigningKey unless its status is
STATUS_SUCCESS, and 3.3.5.5.3 the final response of a non-binding
session setup too. The two keys only differ on a channel that was bound
to the session, and that case has not been tested against Windows.
The signature of a reauthentication was not checked at all, because
SESSION_SETUP is exempt from the check in __process_request(). A
reauthentication of a live session with a forged signature therefore got
STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED signed with the session key, with or
without multichannel: the same kind of signing oracle as an unverified
binding request. Verify it with the same helper as binding requests.
Also refuse an unsigned reauthentication of a session that requires
signing, as smbtorture's bind_negative tests expect from Windows, unless
the request arrived encrypted with that session's key. A related
operation in an encrypted compound may name another session than the one
whose key encrypted it, so compare the session of the transform header
too. A session that negotiated encryption has sess->sign cleared even
when signing was required when it was set up, so remember that in
sess->sign_required and take it and enforced encryption into account
too; merely having negotiated encryption is not enough, since clients
such as the Linux one always offer it and then send unsigned,
unencrypted requests. Do not expire the session when a check fails,
since the request did not come from its owner.
The checks apply to every session that has been authenticated before,
which is one that has a user, including while a reauthentication of an
expired session is in progress.
smb2_sess_setup() copied conn->binding into
work->session_setup_binding after its error path had cleared it, so the
response to a failed binding request was signed and added to the
preauth integrity hash as if the request had not been a binding one.
conn->binding is also not yet set when a binding request fails early,
and is left set after a binding has completed on the connection. Take
the value from the request instead.
An AI assistant was used to draft the patch and as an independent
reviewer.

smb2_sess_setup() refuses a binding request for a session that the
connection already uses, but is_ksmbd_session_in_connection() only
knows the sessions created on the connection, not the ones it was bound
to as a channel. A connection that is already a channel of a session
can therefore bind to it again. The new binding legs are verified and
signed with the session key at that connection's MessageIds, and on
completion generate_signingkey() replaces the channel's signing key,
while register_session_channel() keeps the old channel entry.
Refuse such a request with STATUS_REQUEST_NOT_ACCEPTED, as MS-SMB2
3.3.5.5 does for a session that is already in Connection.SessionTable,
which a binding adds the session to (3.3.5.5.3).

reviewer.

When a session's Kerberos ticket has expired, smb2_check_user_session()
returns -EKEYEXPIRED and __handle_ksmbd_work() signs the
STATUS_NETWORK_SESSION_EXPIRED response if the request has
SMB2_FLAGS_SIGNED set. This happens before __process_request(), which
is where the MessageId and the request signature are checked. So the
response is signed with the session's key for a request whose
signature was never verified, at a MessageId that was never checked.
Anyone who can inject requests into the connection can then get
responses signed with that key at MessageIds of their choice: a
signing oracle. A Kerberos reauthentication keeps the session's keys, so
the effect lasts for the rest of the session.
MS-SMB2 checks the MessageId (3.3.5.2.3) and the signature (3.3.5.2.4)
before the session (3.3.5.2.9). Do the same: sign the response only if
the request passes both checks, and otherwise answer with an unsigned
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER or STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED, as
__process_request() does.
For a later command of a compound, the response that is current at this
point is still the previous one, so the old code re-signed that response
instead. Leave the expired response of such a command unsigned.
An AI assistant was used to draft the patch and as an independent
reviewer.

Three places in the signing path read the wrong command of a compound
request instead of the command being processed:
- smb2_is_sign_req() always inspects smb_get_msg(work->request_buf)->Flags,
so the per-command signing decision in __process_request() follows the
first command's SMB2_FLAGS_SIGNED bit rather than the current one.
smb2_check_sign_req() already uses ksmbd_req_buf_next() for a chained
command; do the same here.
- When check_user_session() fails on a chained command,
set_smb2_rsp_status() writes the error into ksmbd_resp_buf_next(), but
__handle_ksmbd_work() then set SMB2_FLAGS_SIGNED on
ksmbd_resp_buf_curr(), i.e. the previous command's response. Flag the
response that actually holds the error.
- After each command, __handle_ksmbd_work() decides whether to sign its
response only after is_chained_smb2_message() has moved on to the next
command, so smb2_is_sign_req() and smb3_11_final_sess_setup_resp()
would see the next command's request and response. Decide before
moving on, and still sign afterwards, once NextCommand and the padding
of the response are final.
When the session does not require signing, this mattered in three ways:
an unsigned command after a signed one was verified anyway and refused
with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED; a signed command after an unsigned one was
processed without its signature being checked, so a wrong signature
was accepted, contrary to MS-SMB2 3.3.5.2.4; and the response to that
signed command was not signed. When the session requires signing, an
unsigned first command is still refused and every signed command was
and is verified against its own header, so mandatory signing is not
bypassed.
An AI assistant was used to draft the patch and as an independent
reviewer.

__handle_ksmbd_work() calls check_user_session() before
__process_request(). When the session is unknown, invalid or expired, it
sets the error status and jumps straight to send, skipping
__process_request() and therefore ksmbd_verify_smb_message(), which is
where smb2_check_sequence_number() consumes the request's MessageId from
the command sequence window and refuses a replay.
Only a signed request on an expired session had its MessageId checked,
by ksmbd_sign_expired_rsp(). Any other failed-session request (unsigned,
encrypted, or on an unknown or invalid session) left its MessageId
unconsumed: conn->seq_low then stays pinned at it while conn->seq_high
advances as credits are granted, until the window of
KSMBD_CMD_SEQ_WINDOW ids is full and the connection stalls. A replayed
MessageId on such a session is not refused either.
Verify the message once at the start of the failed-session path, as
__process_request() would have, and drop the now redundant check from
ksmbd_sign_expired_rsp(); verifying twice would consume the MessageId
twice and refuse a genuine request.
The commands of a compound that follow the failed one are still neither
answered nor consumed, as after any error that ends a compound, and a
request refused by the tree connect checks that follow has the same
problem as this one; those are separate changes.
An AI assistant was used to draft the patch and as an independent
reviewer.

A request on an unknown, invalid or expired session is answered by
__handle_ksmbd_work() without reaching the code that calls
smb2_set_rsp_credits(). Its credit charge is never taken off
conn->total_credits, and the response grants no credits.
The client has spent those credits all the same. Each such request
leaves ksmbd's count of the client's credits too high by its charge,
which reduces what later responses can grant, and a client that keeps
getting these errors runs out of credits. Since the command sequence
window was added in commit fd8c97d7c1cc ("ksmbd: implement the command
sequence window"), this also ends the connection: after NEGOTIATE, the
second request that names an unknown session is already outside the
window. A client whose session has expired loses a credit with every
request, until it can no longer send the SESSION_SETUP that would
reauthenticate it.
MS-SMB2 has the server consume a credit for every request but CANCEL
(3.3.4.1.2) and put the credits it grants in an error response as in
any other (3.3.4.4). Charge the request's credits and grant the ones it
asks for, as for a request on a valid session, before the response is
signed, except for an SMB2 CANCEL, which consumes no credit. This
response ends the work, so it reports the credits granted for the whole
compound, also when it answers a CANCEL that follows commands that were
granted credits.
An AI assistant was used to draft the patch and as an independent
reviewer.
