X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc2~12^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d9d1e319b39ea685ede59319002d567c159d23c3;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

smb: client: fix broken multichannel with krb5+signing

When mounting a share with 'multichannel,max_channels=n,sec=krb5i',
the client was duplicating signing key for all secondary channels,
thus making the server fail all commands sent from secondary channels
due to bad signatures.

Every channel has its own signing key, so when establishing a new
channel with krb5 auth, make sure to use the new session key as the
derived key to generate channel's signing key in SMB2_auth_kerberos().

Repro:

$ mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o multichannel,max_channels=4,sec=krb5i
$ sleep 5
$ umount /mnt
$ dmesg
  ...
  CIFS: VFS: sign fail cmd 0x5 message id 0x2
  CIFS: VFS: \\srv SMB signature verification returned error = -13
