From 4c17a6d56bb0cad3066a714e94f7185a24b40f49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2015 16:27:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] CIFS: fix type confusion in copy offload ioctl This might lead to local privilege escalation (code execution as kernel) for systems where the following conditions are met: - CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 and CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX are enabled - a cifs filesystem is mounted where: - the mount option "vers" was used and set to a value >=2.0 - the attacker has write access to at least one file on the filesystem To attack this, an attacker would have to guess the target_tcon pointer (but guessing wrong doesn't cause a crash, it just returns an error code) and win a narrow race.
