smb: client: fix OOBs when building SMB2_IOCTL request
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix OOBs when building SMB2_IOCTL request
When using encryption, either enforced by the server or when using
'seal' mount option, the client will squash all compound request buffers
down for encryption into a single iov in smb2_set_next_command().
SMB2_ioctl_init() allocates a small buffer (448 bytes) to hold the
SMB2_IOCTL request in the first iov, and if the user passes an input
buffer that is greater than 328 bytes, smb2_set_next_command() will
end up writing off the end of @rqst->iov[0].iov_base as shown below:
mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o ...,seal
ln -s $(perl -e "print('a')for 1..1024") /mnt/link
