Benjamin Kaduk 0b1ccb0dbc OPENAFS-SA-2024-002: verify FetchACL returned a valid string
CVE-2024-10396

Analogously to how a call to RXAFS_StoreACL() with a malformed
ACL string can cause a fileserver to perform invalid memory operations,
a malformed ACL string returned in response to a call to RXAFS_FetchACL()
can cause a client to perform invalid memory operations.

Modify all the in-tree callers of the RPC to verify that the ACL
data, which is conveyed as an XDR 'opaque' but whose contents
are actually expected to be a string, is a valid C string.  If
a zero-length opaque or one without a trailing NUL is received,
treat that as an error response from the fileserver rather than
returning success.

The Unix cache manager's pioctl handler already has logic to cope with a
zero-length reply by emitting a single NUL byte to userspace.  This
special-casing seems to have been in place from the original IBM import,
though it does so by confusingly "skipping over" a NUL byte already put
in place.  For historical compatibility, preserve that behavior rather
than treating the zero-length reply as an error as we do for the other
callers.  It seems likely that this location should treat a zero-length
reply as an error just as the other call sites do, but that can be done
as a later change.

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and
access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as
they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is
called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many
different machines, but are available to users on every machine.
