[PATCH 3/7] smb: client: fix OOB read of the resume name sent in TRANS2_FIND_NEXT2
From: Diego Oliva
Date: Tue Sep 29 2026 - 05:22:44 EST
cifs_fill_dirent() reads the fixed part of a directory entry and the
name length it holds, or for SMB_FIND_FILE_UNIX scans the name for its
terminating NUL, without knowing where the response ends.
cifs_save_resume_key() calls it for the entry at the LastNameOffset the
server chose, after every FindNext and after the FindFirst of a search
rewind, and records the name it returns as the resume name of the
search without bounding it; the next CIFSFindNext() copies up to
PATH_MAX - 1 bytes from that name into its request and sends them to
the server. cifs_filldir() bounds
the name against the end of the response since
commit f8cf09a53a0d ("smb: client: bound dirent name against end of
SMB response in cifs_filldir"), but only after cifs_fill_dirent() has
read the entry, and nxt_dir_entry() checks the entries it walks only
against sizeof(FILE_DIRECTORY_INFO), for every level but
SMB_FIND_FILE_INFO_STANDARD, and never sees the first entry of a
response.
Bounding where last_entry starts, as the preceding patch does, does
not bound the read. A last entry that starts within the final bytes of
the response still has its fixed part read past the end of the
received data, and the name length it declares, a __le32 for every
level but SMB_FIND_FILE_INFO_STANDARD and SMB_FIND_FILE_UNIX, is
recorded without being checked against anything. CIFSFindNext()
rejects only a length of PATH_MAX or more, then copies the name, up to
4095 bytes, into its request and sends it, and as the report below
shows that copy can run past the end of the cifs_request allocation
that holds the response. For SMB_FIND_FILE_UNIX the name is in
addition scanned for its terminating NUL over up to PATH_MAX + 1
UTF-16 units, or PATH_MAX bytes, before any check. The FindNext that
carries the name is only sent by the SMB1 dialect, which is not
negotiated by default; reaching it requires an explicit vers=1.0
mount.
With KASAN enabled, a response whose last entry declares a name
longer than the bytes that follow it gives:

==================================================================
The read is the memcpy() that copies the recorded name into the next
request, so those bytes go to the server.
Pass the end of the response to cifs_fill_dirent() and have it reject
an entry whose fixed part does not fit or whose name extends past the
end, before either is used, so that both callers are covered;
cifs_save_resume_key() computes the end the same way cifs_readdir()
does. The name bound compares the bytes left between the name and the
end with the name length rather than adding the length to the name
pointer, since the length is a 32-bit value taken from the entry and
the sum could wrap on 32-bit systems. cifs_fill_dirent() is also used
on the SMB2 readdir path; there smb2_parse_query_directory() has
already checked every entry against the end of the response, so a
valid SMB2 response is not rejected by the new checks. The check
cifs_filldir() applies after the parse is left in place. The NUL scan
for SMB_FIND_FILE_UNIX names is capped by a separate patch.
An entry and its name lie inside the data area of the response, so a
server that points LastNameOffset at the entry is not affected. One
that points it at the file name, as MS-CIFS 2.2.6.2.2 describes, has
its last entry rejected here; the listing is unaffected, because
cifs_readdir() records the resume name from an entry it emitted, and
before this series such a response could instead end the listing early,
since a name length read from the wrong place is usually PATH_MAX or
more, which CIFSFindNext() rejects with -EINVAL.
On trees before v6.19 the type for the level 0x105 fixed part is
spelled SEARCH_ID_FULL_DIR_INFO; adjust when backporting.
Fixes: 0752f1522a91 ("[CIFS] make sure we have the right resume info before calling CIFSFindNext")
