Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ksmbd: fix OOB write in QUERY_INFO for compound requests<br />
<br />
When a compound request such as READ + QUERY_INFO(Security) is received,<br />
and the first command (READ) consumes most of the response buffer,<br />
ksmbd could write beyond the allocated buffer while building a security<br />
descriptor.<br />
<br />
The root cause was that smb2_get_info_sec() checked buffer space using<br />
ppntsd_size from xattr, while build_sec_desc() often synthesized a<br />
significantly larger descriptor from POSIX ACLs.<br />
<br />
This patch introduces smb_acl_sec_desc_scratch_len() to accurately<br />
compute the final descriptor size beforehand, performs proper buffer<br />
checking with smb2_calc_max_out_buf_len(), and uses exact-sized<br />
allocation + iov pinning.
