[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.6] ksmbd: validate SMB2 lease create contexts

From: Sasha Levin

Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 12:44:23 EST


From: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b69be2c58615950ee7353b61a21acdf8508c0cbb ]

Validate SMB2 lease context lengths, requested lease state bits, and v2
flags before using the context. Return errors via ERR_PTR so CREATE can
distinguish a missing lease context from a malformed one.

Also ignore lease v2 contexts for SMB 2.1, where they are not valid.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

The background `git log --grep` searches finished. They confirm the
commit **is not in this tree**:

- `--grep="validate SMB2 lease"` — no matches
- `--grep="lease create context"` — only `bb05367a66a99` (“set v2 lease
version on lease upgrade”), not the validation patch

That lines up with the earlier analysis: the buggy `parse_lease_state()`
code is present in **6.18.44**, and the fix exists only on Namjae Jeon’s
ksmbd fork (`e9d6231`), not in kernel.org git here.

**Verdict remains YES** for backport to this tree.
