commit fa724e235cfdb0fb0bb427d0f9dfe864ae27403e upstream.

Several code paths update the VFS inode size by calling
netfs_resize_file() and cifs_setsize(), but omit the corresponding
fscache_resize_cookie() call, leaving the fscache cookie out of sync
with the actual file size:

  - cifs_file_set_size() in inode.c: server-side truncation via setattr
  - cifs_do_truncate() in file.c: truncates to zero on O_TRUNC open
  - smb2_duplicate_extents() in smb2ops.c: file clone extending EOF
  - smb3_simple_falloc() in smb2ops.c: two branches that extend EOF
    via write-range and SMB2_set_eof respectively

Since every caller of cifs_setsize() must resize the fscache cookie,
add the call to cifs_setsize() itself, consistent with how
truncate_pagecache() is already consolidated there.

<title>binfmt_misc: don't leak the user namespace when the mount fails</title>

commit b8206f516fe7cbe785cf44bf09c17c438d7c3cad upstream.

bm_get_tree() takes a reference to the user namespace and hands it to
get_tree_keyed() as the sget key. sget_fc() moves that reference into
sb-&gt;s_fs_info and clears fc-&gt;s_fs_info, so from that point on the
superblock owns it and bm_free() doesn't see it anymore.

The superblock drops it in -&gt;put_super(). But generic_shutdown_super()
only calls -&gt;put_super() from inside the if (sb-&gt;s_root) branch, so
nothing releases it when bm_fill_super() fails:

- The kzalloc_obj() failure leaves s_root NULL and the whole branch is
  skipped.

- A simple_fill_super() failure in the file loop leaves s_root set, but
  s_op still points at simple_super_operations, which has no
  -&gt;put_super(). bm_fill_super() installs s_ops only once
  simple_fill_super() returned success, and installing it earlier
  wouldn't help either because simple_fill_super() overwrites s_op.

Either way vfs_get_super() calls deactivate_locked_super() and the
reference is gone for good. binfmt_misc mounts are available in a user
namespace and both the inode and the dentry cache are SLAB_ACCOUNT, so
an unprivileged caller under a tight memory cgroup can fail
simple_fill_super() on demand and leak one user namespace per attempt.

Drop the reference in -&gt;kill_sb() instead, which runs unconditionally,
the same way nfsd and rpc_pipefs release their keyed s_fs_info.

That also stops -&gt;put_super() from clearing s_fs_info while the
superblock is still on @fs_supers. generic_shutdown_super() leaves it
there on purpose so that sget_fc() keeps finding it until kill_sb() has
run, but a NULL s_fs_info makes test_keyed_super() miss it, so a
concurrent mount for the same user namespace skips the grab_super()
wait and creates a second superblock for a namespace that is still
being torn down.

<title>binfmt_misc: don't let an 'F' entry pin its own instance</title>

commit 79055d82772b9584f259b747fe40ff56a076678d upstream.

An entry registered with 'F' opens its interpreter at registration time
and holds that file until the entry is freed. Any entry nobody removes
by hand only gets closed once the binfmt_misc superblock is shut down.
If the interpreter lives on a mount that keeps that superblock alive the
two pin each other:

    binfmt_misc sb -&gt; inode -&gt; entry -&gt; interp_file -&gt; vfsmount -&gt; binfmt_misc sb

TL;DR the file is never closed. Once the mount namespace is gone there
is nothing left to unregister through either.

There are two ways to trigger this bug:

- Point the interpreter at the instance itself. Its files are regular
  files owned by the mounter and both bm_get_inode() and
  simple_fill_super() leave i_op at empty_iops. So notify_change() falls
  back to simple_setattr() and chmod +x works. We never set SB_I_NOEXEC
  and so open_exec() accepts it.

- Use the instance as an overlayfs lower layer. The overlay superblock
  holds a clone_private_mount() of every layer until it is destroyed and
  that clone is in no namespace. So umount_tree() never reaches it.

That's a DoS. And it isn't only the superblock that leaks. It pins the
user namespace it was mounted in, so every iteration permanently eats
one of the caller's user namespace charges.

So let's just do the sane thing. SB_I_NOEXEC makes open_exec() fail on
the instance's own files and s_stack_depth makes overlayfs reject the
layer before it ever takes a clone. That also covers the ecryptfs and
fuse passthrough variants. What 'F' promises is unchanged.

The stable tag is narrower than the Fixes tags on purpose. Before
sandboxed mounts this needed global root against the single instance
everyone shares, and the change doesn't apply to those trees anyway.

Note that SB_I_NODEV is implicitly raised for userns mounts but raise it
explicitly here as well.

<title>binfmt_misc: reject a flag character as the field delimiter</title>

commit 8e85d50ba1117fd446bf9a250bd8a97d48384bdc upstream.

The registration string starts with a user chosen delimiter that
separates the individual fields. So that the field parsers terminate
even on a truncated string create_entry() pads the buffer with that
same delimiter:

	memset(buf + count, del, 8);

Most fields are scanned for the delimiter with strchr()/scanarg() and
happily stop on the padding. The flags field is different: instead of
scanning for the delimiter check_special_flags() consumes the flag
characters 'P', 'O', 'C' and 'F' and stops at the first byte that is
none of them, relying on the trailing delimiter to end the scan.

If the delimiter is itself a flag character the padding no longer acts
as a terminator. The scan swallows all eight padding bytes and keeps
reading past the end of the allocation until it hits a byte that is
not a flag character. For example registering

	PaPEPPxPPiP

with 'P' as the delimiter (name "a", type extension, magic "x",
interpreter "i", empty flags) leaves the flag scan running off the end
of the buffer. The registration is rejected in the end because the
parser does not stop exactly at buf + count, but only after the out of
bounds read has already happened. With an unlucky allocation layout the
scan can walk into an unmapped page; under KASAN it is reported as a
slab out of bounds read. binfmt_misc mounts are available to
unprivileged users in a user namespace so the read is reachable without
privileges.

Reject a delimiter that is one of the flag characters up front. Such a
registration was always rejected anyway, only after the out of bounds
read, so no valid registration string changes meaning.

<title>binfmt_misc: use exe_file_deny_write_access() for the interpreter clone</title>

commit fa5990ca8fd917003e526036bcc50413edb9722c upstream.

For MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE entries load_misc_binary() clones the
registered interpreter file and denies write access to the clone via
plain deny_write_access(). The clone is installed as
bprm-&gt;interpreter and later released by the exec machinery through
exe_file_allow_write_access() which skips the i_writecount increment
for files with FMODE_FSNOTIFY_HSM set.

The deny and allow side can therefore come to different conclusions
when pre-content watches are in play: if a pre-content watch is added
to the interpreter after registration every subsequent exec through
that entry takes a write denial on the clone that is never paired
with a write allowance, driving the interpreter inode's i_writecount
further down with each exec and leaving the interpreter unwritable
even after the entry and all its users are gone.

Take the write denial via exe_file_deny_write_access() so both sides
of the pairing base their decision on the same file mode, and
propagate failure instead of silently ignoring it: an interpreter
that is concurrently open for writing now fails the exec with
ETXTBSY, exactly like an interpreter freshly opened via open_exec()
would.

commit db1856ea9196cf6e015d12199a34c0b9313c7bfa upstream.

Registering an entry with the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE flag opens the
interpreter via open_exec() which denies write access to it for as
long as the entry exists. Removing the entry closes the interpreter
file via filp_close() but never restores write access, leaving the
inode's i_writecount permanently negative. Opening the interpreter
for writing keeps failing with ETXTBSY long after the entry is gone
until the inode is evicted from the inode cache.

Commit 90f601b497d7 ("binfmt_misc: restore write access before
closing files opened by open_exec()") fixed the same imbalance in the
error path of bm_register_write() but the actual removal path has
been leaking the write denial since the introduction of the flag.

Restore write access in put_binfmt_handler() before closing the
interpreter file.

commit db1856ea9196cf6e015d12199a34c0b9313c7bfa upstream.

Registering an entry with the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE flag opens the
interpreter via open_exec() which denies write access to it for as
long as the entry exists. Removing the entry closes the interpreter
file via filp_close() but never restores write access, leaving the
inode's i_writecount permanently negative. Opening the interpreter
for writing keeps failing with ETXTBSY long after the entry is gone
until the inode is evicted from the inode cache.

<title>ksmbd: reject repeated SMB2 NEGOTIATE requests</title>

commit cb469993b3a61a72653770856d37af616d72d05f upstream.

Unauthenticated client can send multiple successful SMB2 NEGOTIATE
requests on one connection before SESSION_SETUP. While the connection is
in KSMBD_SESS_NEED_SETUP, smb2_handle_negotiate() accepts another
SMB3.1.1 NEGOTIATE and overwrites conn-&gt;preauth_info with a new allocation.
Only the final allocation is freed when the connection is released, leaking
one object for every additional successful request.

A repeated SMB2 NEGOTIATE after a dialect has been selected is a protocol
violation. MS-SMB2 section 3.3.5.4 requires the server to disconnect
without replying in this case. Set the connection exiting when rejecting
the request, in addition to suppressing the response.

Reject SMB2 NEGOTIATE unless the connection is new or is waiting for the
SMB2 NEGOTIATE that follows an SMB1 multi-protocol negotiate. Serialize
both SMB1 and SMB2 negotiation paths under conn-&gt;srv_mutex, since they
update connection-wide dialect and negotiation state.

Move the locking contract to ksmbd_smb_negotiate_common(), where the state
and dialect are selected, and add ksmbd_conn_new() for consistent state
access.

commit 4af1ec68d54b3871155914d584fb10669c41a861 upstream.

In afs_make_call(), there's a race with async call reception and
destruction.  If a call is dispatched that doesn't have call-&gt;write_iter
set (used to specify the data content for FS.StoreData), then the first
rxrpc_kernel_send_data() will not set MSG_MORE in the msghdr.

Once rxrpc_send_data() queues the last request packet, the response could
come in at any time and cause the call to be completed and put.  However,
afs_make_call() will look at the call again to see it -&gt;write_iter should
be handled - something it's only allowed to do if it has its own ref on the
call.  Whilst this is the case for synchronous calls, it isn't true for
async calls such as FS.FetchData.

There's also a potential UAF in afs_make_call() in the event that an
asynchronous call is being sent, but the call fails in some way (e.g. it
gets aborted from the server).  The problem there is that afs_make_call()
tries to abort a call if the rxrpc send fails, but the asynchronous
notification from rxrpc may have caused the afs_call to be torn down.

generic/650 plays games with randomly taking CPUs offline, and can
interject a significant delay such that the call is deallocated before
afs_make_call() gets to check call-&gt;write_iter - and a UAF ensues (caught
by KASAN).

   BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in afs_make_call+0x1c90/0x2210 [kafs]
   Read of size 8 at addr ffff888035e050e8 by task fsstress/1409

Fix this by making afs_make_op_call() give the op-&gt;call its own ref rather
than transferring the caller's ref to it and then dropping the ref when
afs_make_call() returns.

This also means that the afs_make_call() func never loses its ref on the
call now.
