Miroslav Lichvar 7712455d9a Fix buffer overflow when processing crafted command packets ...

When the length of the REQ_SUBNETS_ACCESSED, REQ_CLIENT_ACCESSES
command requests and the RPY_SUBNETS_ACCESSED, RPY_CLIENT_ACCESSES,
RPY_CLIENT_ACCESSES_BY_INDEX, RPY_MANUAL_LIST command replies is
calculated, the number of items stored in the packet is not validated.

A crafted command request/reply can be used to crash the server/client.
Only clients allowed by cmdallow (by default only localhost) can crash
the server.

With chrony versions 1.25 and 1.26 this bug has a smaller security
impact as the server requires the clients to be authenticated in order
to process the subnet and client accesses commands. In 1.27 and 1.28,
however, the invalid calculated length is included also in the
authentication check which may cause another crash.
