These fixes need to be tagged to a CVE.
>From Jeff Layton:
The cifs code regularly has to convert strings from ucs2_le (a double
byte encoding scheme used on windows) to the local NLS charset. The
routines that do this have a very poor scheme for handling buffer lengths.
The string conversion routines accept only a single length parameter
specified in units of the number of wide characters that it should try
to convert. It's assumed therefore that the destination buffer will be
big enough. Some measures are in place now to try to ensure this, but
they really aren't sufficient. What's needed is a new set of conversion
routines that take both the source and destination buffer lengths into
account.
The patchset adds these routines and converts the appropriate callers to
use them. In addition, it removes a very large piece of "experimental"
NTLMSSP code that I found to be completely unreachable. That code was
using the old routines and it's simpler (and better) to just remove that
code rather than convert it.
