Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: use check_add_overflow() to prevent u16 DACL size overflow
set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() and set_ntacl_dacl() accumulate ACE sizes
in u16 variables. When a file has many POSIX ACL entries, the
accumulated size can wrap past 65535, causing the pointer arithmetic
(char *)pndace + *size to land within already-written ACEs. Subsequent
writes then overwrite earlier entries, and pndacl->size gets a
truncated value.
Use check_add_overflow() at each accumulation point to detect the
wrap before it corrupts the buffer, consistent with existing
check_mul_overflow() usage elsewhere in smbacl.c.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.15 < 6.6.136)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.84)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.25)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 7.0.2)
