Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix use-before-check of ReparseDataLength in reparse_buf_ptr()
reparse_buf_ptr() reads buf->ReparseDataLength before checking that
count covers the full fixed header:
buf = (struct reparse_data_buffer *)((u8 *)io + off);
len = sizeof(*buf); /* 8 bytes */
rdlen = le16_to_cpu(buf->ReparseDataLength); /* offset 4, 2 bytes */
if (count < len || count < rdlen + len) /* check comes after */
struct reparse_data_buffer has ReparseDataLength at offset 4. If a
server returns OutputCount < 6, the read at offset 4-5 reaches past
the end of the received data. The off+count bounds against iov_len
were already validated, but that does not protect against count being
smaller than sizeof(*buf).
Split the check: verify count >= sizeof(*buf) before reading
ReparseDataLength, then verify count covers the data region.
