From 6f40e50ceb99fc8ef37e5c56e2ec1d162733fef0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qianchang Zhao pioooooooooip@gmail.com Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 15:27:47 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: transport_ipc: validate payload size before reading handle
handle_response() dereferences the payload as a 4-byte handle without verifying that the declared payload size is at least 4 bytes. A malformed or truncated message from ksmbd.mountd can lead to a 4-byte read past the declared payload size. Validate the size before dereferencing.
This is a minimal fix to guard the initial handle read.
