DescriptionCVE.org

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

ksmbd: add a permission check for FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA

FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA in smb2_ioctl() destroys file data via ksmbd_vfs_zero_data() -> vfs_fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE/ZERO_RANGE) after checking only the share-level KSMBD_TREE_CONN_FLAG_WRITABLE, with no per-handle access check. A handle opened with only FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES still yields an FMODE_WRITE filp (FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES is part of FILE_WRITE_DESIRE_ACCESS_LE, so smb2_create_open_flags() opens it O_WRONLY), so the vfs_fallocate FMODE_WRITE check does not stop it; only the missing fp->daccess gate would. Reproduced on mainline 7.1-rc7 with KASAN by an authenticated SMB client: a FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES-only handle zeroed 4096 bytes of file data it had no FILE_WRITE_DATA right to (6/6; a FILE_READ_DATA-only handle was correctly denied).

This is the unfixed sibling of commit cc57232cae23 ("ksmbd: fix FSCTL permission bypass by adding a permission check for FSCTL_SET_SPARSE"). Because SET_ZERO_DATA writes data (not an attribute), require FILE_WRITE_DATA.

AnalysisAI

Data zeroing attack in the Linux kernel's ksmbd SMB server allows an authenticated client to destroy file contents without requiring FILE_WRITE_DATA permission. A handle opened with only FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES is sufficient to send FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA, bypassing the missing per-handle access check. Publicly available exploit code exists, and vendor patches have been released.
