In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix slab-out-of-bounds in init_smb2_rsp_hdr
When smb1 mount fails, KASAN detect slab-out-of-bounds in
init_smb2_rsp_hdr like the following one.
For smb1 negotiate(56bytes) , init_smb2_rsp_hdr() for smb2 is called.
The issue occurs while handling smb1 negotiate as smb2 server operations.
Add smb server operations for smb1 (get_cmd_val, init_rsp_hdr,
allocate_rsp_buf, check_user_session) to handle smb1 negotiate so that
smb2 server operation does not handle it.
