CVE-2018-1066 (published 2018-03-02T08:29Z)

The Linux kernel before version 4.11 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference in fs/cifs/cifsencrypt.c:setup_ntlmv2_rsp() that allows an attacker controlling a CIFS server to kernel panic a client that has this server mounted, because an empty TargetInfo field in an NTLMSSP setup negotiation response is mishandled during session recovery.

Severity: HIGH
CVSS v2 base score: 7.1 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C)
CVSS v3 base score: 6.5, MEDIUM (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-476
cwe_name: NULL Pointer Dereference
description: The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.

msg: CIFS: Enable encryption during session setup phase

In order to allow encryption on SMB connection we need to exchange
a session key and generate encryption and decryption keys.
