The NTLMSSP Signature field is an eight-byte binary value and need not be
NUL-terminated. decode_ntlmssp_challenge() prints it with %s on the
signature-mismatch path, so the diagnostic can continue beyond the received
blob until it encounters a zero byte.
KASAN reports:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in string
Read of size 1
string
vsnprintf
_printk
decode_ntlmssp_challenge
Print the fixed-width field with the bounded hexadecimal format.
The patched kernel reaches the invalid-signature path and returns -EINVAL
without a KASAN report.
Fixes: 0b3cc858003b ("[CIFS] NTLMSSP reenabled after move from connect.c to sess.c")
