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

nfsd: gate nfs3 setacl by argp->mask

nfsd3_proc_setacl() calls set_posix_acl() unconditionally for both ACL_TYPE_ACCESS and ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT, passing argp->acl_access and argp->acl_default verbatim. The NFSv3 ACL decoder only populates those pointers when the corresponding mask bit is set:

nfs3svc_decode_setaclargs()
  if (args->mask & NFS_ACL)    decode into acl_access
  if (args->mask & NFS_DFACL)  decode into acl_default
  /* otherwise the pointer stays NULL (pc_argzero) */

nfsd3_proc_setacl()
  set_posix_acl(.., ACL_TYPE_ACCESS,  argp->acl_access)
  set_posix_acl(.., ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT, argp->acl_default)

set_posix_acl(idmap, dentry, type, NULL) is the VFS "remove this ACL type" operation. A NULL pointer that means "the client did not send this arm" is therefore indistinguishable from "the client asked to remove this ACL". A SETACL with mask=NFS_ACL silently drops the directory's default ACL; mask=0 drops both.

The sibling nfsd3_proc_getacl() already consults argp->mask before touching each arm; mirror that in setacl.

Fix by wrapping each set_posix_acl() call in the matching mask bit check and initializing error to 0 before inode_lock so that a request with neither bit set leaves the on-disk ACLs untouched and returns nfs_ok. The out_drop_lock path and the unconditional posix_acl_release() at out: are preserved; both NULL-tolerate the skipped arms.
