Title

smb: client: fix OOB struct field reads in move_smb2_ea_to_cifs()

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix OOB struct field reads in move_smb2_ea_to_cifs() In move_smb2_ea_to_cifs(), the while (src_size > 0) loop condition is insufficient. It allows iteration to continue even if the remaining src_size is too small to contain a complete smb2_ea_info structure. Consequently, reads of ea_name_length and ea_value_length can occur out-of-bounds. Fix this by ensuring src_size >= sizeof(*src) before attempting to read any structure fields. Additionally, reject any next_entry_offset that is smaller than sizeof(*src) or that would advance the pointer beyond the available buffer. Note that for calls where the server returns a malformed EA list, the error returned to userspace changes from -ENODATA (getxattr) or -ERANGE (listxattr) to -EIO. This correctly signals a server protocol error rather than misleadingly indicating "attribute not present" or "output buffer too small".

GHSA-QX7M-524H-7684

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-06 09:31 – Updated: 2026-10-06 09:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix OOB struct field reads in move_smb2_ea_to_cifs()

In move_smb2_ea_to_cifs(), the while (src_size > 0) loop condition is insufficient. It allows iteration to continue even if the remaining src_size is too small to contain a complete smb2_ea_info structure. Consequently, reads of ea_name_length and ea_value_length can occur out-of-bounds.

Fix this by ensuring src_size >= sizeof(src) before attempting to read any structure fields. Additionally, reject any next_entry_offset that is smaller than sizeof(src) or that would advance the pointer beyond the available buffer.

Note that for calls where the server returns a malformed EA list, the error returned to userspace changes from -ENODATA (getxattr) or -ERANGE (listxattr) to -EIO. This correctly signals a server protocol error rather than misleadingly indicating "attribute not present" or "output buffer too small".
