smb: client: reject short READ responses in CIFSSMBRead()
CIFSSMBRead() reads DataLengthHigh, DataLength and DataOffset out of
the READ_RSP returned by the server without first checking that a
whole READ_RSP was actually received. The length of the response is
recorded in rsp_iov.iov_len, but nothing constrains it to be at least
read_rsp_size before those fields are dereferenced.
A malicious or compromised SMB1 server can return a response shorter
than the READ_RSP header, so that parsing the header itself reads past
the end of the receive buffer. SMB1 is not negotiated by default;
reaching this code requires an explicit vers=1.0 mount.
Reject the response unless it is at least read_rsp_size bytes long.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
