set_file_allocation_info() converts the client-supplied
FILE_ALLOCATION_INFORMATION::AllocationSize into a 512-byte block
count with:
alloc_blks = (le64_to_cpu(file_alloc_info->AllocationSize) + 511) >> 9;
AllocationSize is a fully client-controlled __le64 field; the only
validation performed by the caller (smb2_set_info_file(), case
FILE_ALLOCATION_INFORMATION) is that the fixed buffer is at least
sizeof(struct smb2_file_alloc_info) == 8 bytes. The value itself is
never range-checked before this arithmetic.
When AllocationSize is close to U64_MAX (e.g. 0xffffffffffffffff),
"AllocationSize + 511" wraps around mod 2^64 to a small number
(0xffffffffffffffff + 511 = 510), so alloc_blks becomes 0. Since any
existing regular file has stat.blocks > 0, the function then takes
the "shrink" branch and calls:
ksmbd_vfs_truncate(work, fp, alloc_blks * 512); /* == 0 */
silently truncating the file to size 0, even though the client asked
to grow the allocation to (what looks like) the maximum possible
size. The trailing "if (size < alloc_blks * 512) i_size_write(inode,
size);" restore is guarded by a comparison that is never true once
alloc_blks == 0, so the truncation is not undone. This lets an
authenticated SMB client that already holds an open handle with
FILE_WRITE_DATA on a file silently truncate that same file to size 0
via a single crafted SET_INFO(FILE_ALLOCATION_INFORMATION) request
advertising a near-U64_MAX AllocationSize, even though the request
asks to grow the file's allocation rather than shrink it. This is a
functional/data-loss bug, not a privilege-boundary
violation: the same client could already truncate the file via
FILE_END_OF_FILE_INFORMATION or a plain write.
Fix it by validating AllocationSize against MAX_LFS_FILESIZE, the
same upper bound the VFS itself uses to reject unrepresentable file
sizes, before doing the "+511" rounding, and rejecting oversized
values with -EINVAL. Bounding AllocationSize to
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE - 511 guarantees the "+511" addition cannot wrap,
and that the subsequent "alloc_blks * 512" values passed to
vfs_fallocate() and ksmbd_vfs_truncate() stay within a representable
loff_t as well.
No legitimate SMB client asks for an allocation size anywhere near
2^64 bytes, so this only rejects a value that was previously
silently misinterpreted as zero.
Runtime-verified on a v6.19 KASAN test stand: sending SET_INFO
(FILE_ALLOCATION_INFORMATION) with AllocationSize = 0xffffffffffffffff
against ksmbd now returns -EINVAL and leaves the target file's size
unchanged, where the unpatched kernel truncated it from 4096 to 0
bytes.
