    CIFS: fix type confusion in copy offload ioctl · 4c17a6d5
    Jann Horn authored
    This might lead to local privilege escalation (code execution as
    kernel) for systems where the following conditions are met:
    
     - CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 and CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX are enabled
     - a cifs filesystem is mounted where:
      - the mount option "vers" was used and set to a value >=2.0
      - the attacker has write access to at least one file on the filesystem
    
    To attack this, an attacker would have to guess the target_tcon
    pointer (but guessing wrong doesn't cause a crash, it just returns an
    error code) and win a narrow race.
