rpcsec_gss: Fix a stack overflow in svc_rpc_gss_validate()
svc_rpc_gss_validate() copies the input message into a stack buffer without ensuring that the buffer is large enough. Sure enough, oa_length may be up to 400 bytes, much larger than the provided space. This enables an unauthenticated user to trigger an overflow and obtain remote code execution. Add a runtime check which verifies that the copy won't overflow.
