Andrew Deason 35d218c1d1 OPENAFS-SA-2024-002: acl: Do not parse beyond end of ACL
CVE-2024-10396

The early parsing code in acl_Internalize_pr() tries to advance
'nextc' to go beyond the first two newlines in the given ACL string.
But if the given ACL string has no newlines, or only 1 newline, then
'nextc' will point beyond the end of the ACL string, potentially
pointing to garbage.

Intuitively, it may look like the ACL string must contain at least 2
newlines because we have sscanf()'d the string with "%d\n%\d".
However, whitespace characters in sscanf() are not matched exactly
like non-whitespace characters are; a sequence of whitespace
characters matches any amount of whitespace (including none). So, a
string like "1 2" will be parsed by "%d\n%d\n", but will not contain
any newline characters.

Usually this should result in a parse error from acl_Internalize_pr(),
but if the garbage happens to parse successfully, this could result in
unrelated memory getting stored to the ACL.

To fix this, don't advance 'nextc' if we're already at the end of the
ACL string.

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.
