those messages arrive on the ksmbd TCP connection in ksmbd_conn_handler_loop().\nAC:L - Callers pass an inclusive end of start+length-1, so Length==1 makes start==end and the shortcut in check_lock_range() returns 0 before walking ctx->flc_posix; the attacker sets Length, Offset, EndOfFile, or COPYCHUNK Length in the PDU, and the skip is deterministic with no race or uncontrollable layout.\nPR:L - smb2_check_user_session() requires SMB2_SESSION_VALID before SMB2_READ/WRITE/SET_INFO/IOCTL, smb2_get_ksmbd_tcon() requires a tree connect, and the handlers resolve a fid via ksmbd_lookup_fd_slow(); this is not negotiate or session-setup, so an authenticated SMB share user is required.\nUI:N - The attacker, holding their own session, tree connect, and open handle, sends the one-byte SMB2 READ, WRITE, SET_INFO FILE_END_OF_FILE_INFORMATION, or FSCTL_SRV_COPYCHUNK; no other user must mount media or confirm an action.\nS:U - Bypassing check_lock_range() only allows this ksmbd worker to read or write host file bytes that conflicting FL_POSIX locks on flc_posix should have denied; there is no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:H - ksmbd_vfs_read() and the COPYCHUNK source check skip exclusive F_WRLCK locks belonging to another filp when start==end, so kernel_read() returns that byte; repeating SMB2 READ at chosen offsets discloses every exclusively locked byte of a file the attacker can open.\nI:H - ksmbd_vfs_write(), ksmbd_vfs_truncate() for size==i_size\u00b11, and COPYCHUNK dest checks likewise skip conflicting F_RDLCK/F_WRLCK, so kernel_write() and vfs_truncate() can overwrite locked bytes or change size by one at attacker-chosen offsets.\nA:N - When the shortcut hits, check_lock_range() returns 0 and the existing kernel_read/kernel_write/vfs_truncate path runs normally; the bug does not NULL-deref, BUG, deadlock, or panic, and the ksmbd worker keeps serving."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/smb/server/vfs.c"], "versions": [{"version": "52fcbb92e0d3acfd1448b2a43b6595d540da5295", "lessThan": "a89cc145832e81c32199d4ca2e1ea8bd51ed601d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "da29cd197246c85c0473259f1cad897d9d28faea", "lessThan": "993e0158331d37c04da18efe551b5e1e35fb3078", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "a6f4cfa3783804336491e0edcb250c25f9b59d33", "lessThan": "f751d6e39d4c937c45f8fedc66699aa7d2d52288", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "571204e4758a528fbd67330bd4b0dfbdafb33dd8", "lessThan": "84c2d8e807ac489f5c91769293fb15dfdae8bae8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "5d510ac31626ed157d2182149559430350cf2104", "lessThan": "07a9e289ff7edcc004f58952405f8a65c4e37512", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "5d510ac31626ed157d2182149559430350cf2104", "lessThan": "d40c24634fe077a0dc91fd11fccf44ce12b454d5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6.1.160", "lessThan": "6.1.188", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.120", "lessThan": "6.6.157", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.64", "lessThan": "6.12.110", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.3", "lessThan": "6.18.52", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/smb/server/vfs.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.19", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.19", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.188", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.157", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.52", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1.160", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.188"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.120", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.157"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.64", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.18.3", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.52"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a89cc145832e81c32199d4ca2e1ea8bd51ed601d"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/993e0158331d37c04da18efe551b5e1e35fb3078"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f751d6e39d4c937c45f8fedc66699aa7d2d52288"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/84c2d8e807ac489f5c91769293fb15dfdae8bae8"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/07a9e289ff7edcc004f58952405f8a65c4e37512"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d40c24634fe077a0dc91fd11fccf44ce12b454d5"}], "title": "ksmbd: Do not skip lock checks for single-byte ranges", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
