  - smb: client: restrict implied bcc[0] exemption to responses without data area smb2_check_message() has a
    long-standing quirk that accepts a response whose calculated length is one byte larger than the bytes
    actually received (server can return one byte more due to implied bcc[0]). This was introduced to
    accommodate servers that omit the trailing bcc[0] overlap byte when no data area is present. However, the
    exemption is applied unconditionally, regardless of whether the command actually carries a data area
    (has_smb2_data_area[]). When a response with a data area is subject to the +1 exemption, the reported data
    can extend one byte beyond the bytes actually received, yet smb2_check_message() still accepts it. The
    subsequent decoder then reads past the end of the receive buffer. This is reachable during NEGOTIATE and
    SESSION_SETUP, before the session is established. The resulting out-of-bounds reads are visible under
    KASAN when mounting against a non-conforming server; both the SPNEGO/negTokenInit and the NTLMSSP
    challenge decoders are affected: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in asn1_ber_decoder+0x16a7/0x1b00 Read of
