In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: validate NTLMv2 response before updating session key

ksmbd_auth_ntlmv2() derives the NTLMv2 session key into
sess->sess_key before it verifies the NTLMv2 response.
ksmbd_decode_ntlmssp_auth_blob() then continues into KEY_XCH even
when ksmbd_auth_ntlmv2() failed.

With SMB3 multichannel binding, the failed authentication operates on
an existing session and the session setup error path does not expire
binding sessions. A client can send a binding session setup with a
bad NT proof and KEY_XCH and still modify sess->sess_key before
STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE is returned.

Relevant path:

  smb2_sess_setup()
    -> conn->binding = true
    -> ntlm_authenticate()
       -> session_user()
       -> ksmbd_decode_ntlmssp_auth_blob()
          -> ksmbd_auth_ntlmv2()
             -> calc_ntlmv2_hash()
             -> hmac_md5_usingrawkey(..., sess->sess_key)
             -> crypto_memneq() returns mismatch
          -> KEY_XCH arc4_crypt(..., sess->sess_key, ...)
    -> out_err without expiring the binding session

Derive the base session key into a local buffer and copy it to
sess->sess_key only after the proof matches. Return immediately on
authentication failure so KEY_XCH is only processed after successful
authentication.
