Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: bound smb_check_perm_dacl() ACE walks by DACL size smb_check_perm_dacl() validates that the DACL fits inside the NT security descriptor, but then bounds its two ACE walks by the remaining NTSD length (acl_size) rather than the DACL's declared size (pdacl_size). When pdacl->size is smaller than the trailing NTSD buffer, bytes after the declared DACL boundary - still inside the stored security descriptor - are parsed as
