commit cabfb3680f78981d26c078a26e5c748531257ebb upstream.

[ resend from Oct 20, 2014, see [1] ]

A trivially patched Samba server (see [2] [3]) can cause a remote kernel
crash (see [4]) in a client's CIFS kernel module upon session recovery,
under kernels prior to v4.11.  The server patch can made by a single
source line modification - returning an empty TargetInfo in an NTLMSSP
setup negotiation response.

To reproduce at the client side, the CIFS client can be instructed to
mount with SMB 2.0, on a share without user/password credentials, e.g:

     mount -t cifs //[host]/[share] -o vers=2.0,guest [mountpoint]

(It may also reproduce with credentials, but I used a simpler
 configuration for the reproduction)

An demo patch to Samba 4.7.4 is provided in the links provided.

As for the client crash itself:

When the session is recovered (after a server start/stop, for example),
the following condition turns out to be true:

     ses->auth_key.len != 0  &&  ses->auth_key.response == NULL

This will cause the following memcpy() in setup_ntlmv2_rsp() to GPF,
because tiblob == NULL and tilen != 0 (these are the old auth_key values):

     memcpy(ses->auth_key.response + baselen, tiblob, tilen);

By bisecting, upstream commit cabfb3680f78 ("CIFS: Enable encryption
during session setup phase") from v4.11 have fixed this issue.

According to my tests, LTS kernels versions 4.4.x and 4.9.x are affected.
The patch below applies for 4.4.x however a similar patch can be applied
to 4.9.x and older kernels.
