This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled cifs: Validate content of NFS reparse point buffer to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: cifs-validate-content-of-nfs-reparse-point-buffer.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 280e78cf09f85b935f1a89013dd93fa912886a8c Author: Pali Rohár <pali@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Sep 28 23:59:47 2024 +0200 cifs: Validate content of NFS reparse point buffer [ Upstream commit 556ac52bb1e76cc28fd30aa117b42989965b3efd ] Symlink target location stored in DataBuffer is encoded in UTF-16. So check that symlink DataBuffer length is non-zero and even number. And check that DataBuffer does not contain UTF-16 null codepoint because Linux cannot process symlink with null byte. DataBuffer for char and block devices is 8 bytes long as it contains two 32-bit numbers (major and minor). Add check for this. DataBuffer buffer for sockets and fifos zero-length. Add checks for this.
