ksmbd: restore DACL size on check_add_overflow() to avoid malformed ACL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: restore DACL size on check_add_overflow() to avoid malformed ACL check_add_overflow() unconditionally writes the truncated sum into *d even on overflow, per its contract in include/linux/overflow.h. The four check_add_overflow() guards in set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() and set_ntacl_dacl() break out of the ACE-building loops on overflow, but the truncated *size is then consumed downstream at the end of set_ntacl_dacl(): pndacl->size = cpu_to_le16(le16_to_cpu(pndacl->size) + size); This produces an on-wire NT ACL whose pndacl->size under-reports the bytes actually written by the preceding fill_ace_for_sid()/memcpy() calls, yielding a malformed ACL that can trigger out-of-bounds reads when re-parsed by clients or ksmbd itself. Restore *size to its pre-addition value on each overflow branch (via `*size -= ace_sz` / `size -= nt_ace_size`) so that after the break, *size once again holds the cumulative size of the successfully-written ACEs. The committed ACL is then truncated-but-self-consistent rather than malformed. The ksmbd DACL builders are the only check_add_overflow() sites found where an overflow path breaks out of a loop and the destination value is consumed afterward. The other nearby break-style cases either return -EINVAL on overflow (transport_ipc.c) or break without consuming the overflowed destination value afterward (buildid.c).
