Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: require a full NFS mode SID before reading mode bits
parse_dacl() treats an ACE SID matching sid_unix_NFS_mode as an NFS
mode SID and reads sid.sub_auth[2] to recover the mode bits.
That assumes the ACE carries three subauthorities, but compare_sids()
only compares min(a, b) subauthorities. A malicious server can return
an ACE with num_subauth = 2 and sub_auth[] = {88, 3}, which still
matches sid_unix_NFS_mode and then drives the sub_auth[2] read four
bytes past the end of the ACE.
Require num_subauth >= 3 before treating the ACE as an NFS mode SID.
This keeps the fix local to the special-SID mode path without changing
compare_sids() semantics for the rest of cifsacl.
