Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the cifs module in the Linux kernel. When building SMB2_IOCTL requests using encryption, either enforced by the server or using the 'seal' mount option, an out-of-bounds write can be triggered when the user passes an input buffer greater than 328 bytes, resulting in memory corruption and a kernel crash.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-11-07 10:01:55 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix OOBs when building SMB2_IOCTL request

When using encryption, either enforced by the server or when using
'seal' mount option, the client will squash all compound request buffers
down for encryption into a single iov in smb2_set_next_command().

SMB2_ioctl_init() allocates a small buffer (448 bytes) to hold the
SMB2_IOCTL request in the first iov, and if the user passes an input
buffer that is greater than 328 bytes, smb2_set_next_command() will
end up writing off the end of @rqst->iov[0].iov_base as shown below:

  mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o ...,seal
  ln -s $(perl -e "print('a')for 1..1024") /mnt/link
