Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: OOB read regression in smb_check_perm_dacl() ACE-walk loops
Commit d07b26f39246 ("ksmbd: require minimum ACE size in
smb_check_perm_dacl()") introduced a transposed bounds check:
if (offsetof(struct smb_ace, sid) + aces_size < CIFS_SID_BASE_SIZE)
Since offsetof(..sid) is 8 and CIFS_SID_BASE_SIZE is 8, this evaluates
to `aces_size < 0`. Because `aces_size` is always non-negative, this
check becomes dead code and never breaks the loop.
Worse, that commit removed the old 4-byte guard, meaning the loop now
reads `ace->size` (offset 2) even when `aces_size` is 0-3 bytes. This
re-opens a 2-byte heap out-of-bounds (OOB) read past the pntsd allocation
during subsequent SMB2_CREATE operations.
Fix this by properly transposing the comparison to require at least
16 bytes (8-byte offset + 8-byte SID base), matching the correct form
used in smb_inherit_dacl().
