Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: fix DACL-rewrite heap overflow in id_mode_to_cifs_acl()
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 15:54:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709155440.2132459-1-doebel@amazon.de> (raw)

Budget the destination buffer for the worst case in both branches:
every rewritten ACE may take sizeof(struct smb_ace) bytes (which
already accounts for an smb_sid with SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES
sub-authorities), plus the smb_acl header that
replace_sids_and_copy_aces() emits.

Fixes: bc3e9dd9d104 ("cifs: Change SIDs in ACEs while transferring file ownership.")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
