Crash in NFS server's nfsm_advance()  due to bad ACL attr.

nfsrv_dissectacl() doesn't set *aclsizep if nfsrv_skipace() returns an
error. But there are paths through the NFSATTRBIT_ACL code in
nfsv4_loadattr() in which attrsum += cnt despite nfsrv_dissectacl()
returning an error -- in which case cnt is never initialized or
contains junk from a previous attribute. As a result
attrsum can end up negative, so that nfsv4_loadattr()
calls nfsm_advance() at the end even though maybe it shouldn't.

Further, when nfsv4_loadattr() is called due to a client's VERIFY, and
the VERIFY contains an ACL attribute to compare, but the file has no
ACL, nfsrv_dissectacl() calls nfsrv_skipace(). nfsrv_skipace() skips
forward in the query by the client-supplied length of the "who"
string. If client specifies a huge length, nfsrv_skipace()'s call to
nfsm_advance() will leave nd->nd_md == 0. Then the call to
nfsm_advance() at the end of of nfsv4_loadattr() will crash when it
tries to use nd->nd_md.

I've attached a demo:

Sanity check the acecnt and who size, plus fix a nfsv4_dissectacl() error case

This patch should fix the crash, plus a couple of
other things. It...
- Adds an if (error) check for the nfsrv_dissectacl()
  call that didn't have it to avoid the nfsm_advance()
  call at the end of nfsv4_loadattr(), as noted by Robert.
- Adds a sanity check for the acecnt. (Checking for negative
  was the minimal check needed, but I also included an upper bound.)
  (As an aside, I should probably have made most of these count
   variables uint32_t instead of int, but that was 20years ago.)
- Add a sanity check on the size of the "who" string, since a data
  buffer for it is malloc()d.

Maybe Robert can check to see this patch fixes the crash for him?

(In reply to Rick Macklem from comment #1)
Yes -- the patches make this crash go away for me.

    nfsd: Sanity check the ACL attribute

    When an ACL is presented to the NFSv4 server in
    Setattr or Verify, parsing of the ACL assumed a
    sane acecnt and sane sizes for the "who" strings.
    This patch adds sanity checks for these.

    The patch also fixes handling of an error
    return from nfsrv_dissectacl() for one broken
    case.
