Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ksmbd: bound smb_check_perm_dacl() ACE walks by DACL size
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 18:39:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_4A67129F3CE9202D7F81A4FF94115D64DB0A@qq.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812103945.82495-1-2122295973@qq.com>
smb_check_perm_dacl() validates that the DACL fits inside the NT
security descriptor, but then bounds its two ACE walks by the
remaining NTSD length (acl_size) rather than the DACL's declared
size (pdacl_size).
When pdacl->size is smaller than the trailing NTSD buffer, bytes
after the declared DACL boundary - still inside the stored security
descriptor - are parsed as ACEs during access checks. A crafted
DACL can place an access-granting ACE beyond pdacl->size, and the
current code accepts it during SMB2_CREATE access validation, while
parse_dacl() and smb_inherit_dacl() stop at pdacl_size.
Bound both ACE walks by pdacl_size to match the DACL boundary
semantics used elsewhere in the server.
Validation (KUnit, UML, x86_64, KASAN; first KUnit tests for
fs/smb/server, see follow-up patch):
- ksmbd_dacl_walk_must_stop_at_declared_size (semantic harness):
with the current code the ACE placed after pdacl->size is
selected and access is granted; with the fix the same sample
is denied (EACCES).
- ksmbd_smb_check_perm_dacl_boundary (drives the real function):
passes with the fix; fails with the fix reverted (rc == 0).
- ksmbd-for-next-next (rebased, base e9d76059ff03), x86_64
Fixes: 8f0541186e9a ("ksmbd: fix heap-based overflow in set_ntacl_dacl()")
