In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: don't update i_size in cifs_do_truncate without a cached handle
If find_writable_file() returns null, cifs_file_flush will return
0 without issuing set_file_size, and the outer 'if (!rc)' block
will set i_size to 0 before telling the server to truncate. If
the cifs_open() then fails, the inode will have size 0, while
the server file is unchanged.
Move the netfs_resize_file() and cifs_setsize() into the 'if
(cfile)', so they only run after a successful set_file_size.
In the no-handle else branch, evict stale pages with
truncate_inode_pages before the O_TRUNC open to dispose of old
cache pages, and let the open response set the i_size.
