Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ksmbd: scope conn->binding slowpath to bound sessions only<br />
<br />
When the binding SESSION_SETUP sets conn->binding = true, the flag stays<br />
set after the call so that the global session lookup in<br />
ksmbd_session_lookup_all() can find the session, which was not added to<br />
conn->sessions. Because the flag is connection-wide, the global lookup<br />
path will also resolve any other session by id if asked.<br />
<br />
Tighten the global lookup so that the returned session must have this<br />
connection registered in its channel xarray (sess->ksmbd_chann_list).<br />
The channel entry is installed by the existing binding_session path in<br />
ntlm_authenticate()/krb5_authenticate() when a SESSION_SETUP completes<br />
successfully, so this condition is a strict equivalent of "this<br />
connection has been accepted as a channel of this session". Connections<br />
that have not bound to a given session cannot reach it via the global<br />
table.<br />
<br />
The existing conn->binding gate for entering the slowpath is preserved<br />
so that non-binding connections keep the fast-path-only behavior, and<br />
the session->state check is unchanged.
