From 4e1e6d17e6074e6f350946f601c5b64667eeaa20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shachar Sharon Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2024 14:44:28 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] s3:smbd: fix NULL dereference in case of readlink failure When VFS readlinkat hook returns with error the following sequence yields NULL-pointer dereference (SIGSEGV): symlink_target_below_conn (source3/smbd/open.c) char *target = NULL; ... readlink_talloc (source3/smbd/files.c) SMB_VFS_READLINKAT smb_vfs_call_readlinkat (source3/smbd/vfs.c) handle->fns->readlinkat_fn --> returns error status = safe_symlink_target_path(.., target /* NULL */ ..) safe_symlink_target_path (source3/smbd/filename.c) if (target[0] == '/') { /* NULL pointer dereference */ A failure in VFS module's readlinkat hook may happen due to run-time error (e.g., network failure which cases libcephfs to disconnect from MDS).
