Description
(Expanded from PR1607, thanks to Michael Maltsev.)
We want to use (more)
FIELD_OFFSET(ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE, SidStart)
instead.

To calculate the size of an ACL, add sizeof(ACL) to the size of all the ACEs to be stored in the ACL. To calculate the size of an ACE, add the size of the ACE structure, such as sizeof(ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE), to the length of the SID associated with the ACE, and then subtract the size of the SidStart member (which is part of both the ACE structure and the SID). Use the RtlLengthSid function to get the length of a specified SID.
The following example shows how to calculate the size of an access-allowed ACE:
sizeof (ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE) - sizeof (ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE.SidStart)
+ GetLengthSid (pAceSid);
To calculate the size of an ACL, use the following algorithm, substituting the appropriate ACE structure in the sizeof(ACE) expression:
cbAcl = sizeof (ACL);
for (i = 0 ; i < nAceCount ; i++) {
// subtract ACE.SidStart from the size
cbAce = sizeof (ACE) - sizeof (DWORD);
// add this ACE's SID length
cbAce += GetLengthSid (pAceSid[i]);
// add the length of each ACE to the total ACL length
cbAcl += cbAce;
}
