+Subject: ksmbd: OOB read regression in smb_check_perm_dacl() ACE-walk loops
+
+From: Ali Ganiyev <ali.qaniyev@gmail.com>
+
+commit 0e60dafe97eca61721f3db456f97d97a80c6c8ae upstream.
+
+Commit d07b26f39246 ("ksmbd: require minimum ACE size in
+smb_check_perm_dacl()") introduced a transposed bounds check:
+
+ if (offsetof(struct smb_ace, sid) + aces_size < CIFS_SID_BASE_SIZE)
+
+Since offsetof(..sid) is 8 and CIFS_SID_BASE_SIZE is 8, this evaluates
+to `aces_size < 0`. Because `aces_size` is always non-negative, this
+check becomes dead code and never breaks the loop.
+
+Worse, that commit removed the old 4-byte guard, meaning the loop now
+reads `ace->size` (offset 2) even when `aces_size` is 0-3 bytes. This
+re-opens a 2-byte heap out-of-bounds (OOB) read past the pntsd allocation
+during subsequent SMB2_CREATE operations.
+
+Fix this by properly transposing the comparison to require at least
+16 bytes (8-byte offset + 8-byte SID base), matching the correct form
+used in smb_inherit_dacl().
+
+Fixes: d07b26f39246 ("ksmbd: require minimum ACE size in smb_check_perm_dacl()")
