CVE-2024-49996: cifs: Fix buffer overflow when parsing NFS reparse points

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cifs: Fix buffer overflow when parsing NFS reparse points

ReparseDataLength is sum of the InodeType size and DataBuffer size. So to get DataBuffer size it is needed to subtract InodeType's size from ReparseDataLength.

Function cifsstrndupfromutf16() is currentlly accessing buf->DataBuffer at position after the end of the buffer because it does not subtract InodeType size from the length. Fix this problem and correctly subtract variable len.

Member InodeType is present only when reparse buffer is large enough. Check for ReparseDataLength before accessing InodeType to prevent another invalid memory access.

Major and minor rdev values are present also only when reparse buffer is large enough. Check for reparse buffer size before calling reparsemkdev().

  93. Compensating control

    In the Linux kernel cifs NFS reparse-point parser, validate ReparseDataLength and the reparse buffer size before accessing InodeType or calling reparse_mkdev(); ensure the buffer is large enough for the InodeType and major/minor rdev fields, and calculate DataBuffer size by subtracting the InodeType size from ReparseDataLength before passing the resulting variable length to cifs_strndup_from_utf16().
