A handle opened with only FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES\nstill yields an FMODE_WRITE filp (FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES is part of\nFILE_WRITE_DESIRE_ACCESS_LE, so smb2_create_open_flags() opens it\nO_WRONLY), so the vfs_fallocate FMODE_WRITE check does not stop it; only\nthe missing fp->daccess gate would. Reproduced on mainline 7.1-rc7 with\nKASAN by an authenticated SMB client: a FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES-only handle\nzeroed 4096 bytes of file data it had no FILE_WRITE_DATA right to\n(6/6; a FILE_READ_DATA-only handle was correctly denied).\n\nThis is the unfixed sibling of commit cc57232cae23 (\"ksmbd: fix FSCTL\npermission bypass by adding a permission check for FSCTL_SET_SPARSE\").\nBecause SET_ZERO_DATA writes data (not an attribute), require\nFILE_WRITE_DATA.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/25377f369688dd0bd814dc8965ed26d44238ecaa","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3072d82461f498c85daea8766e9d8bfbada31605","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3320ba068198adc144c89d6661b805acce01735b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/57f2042fd87d7ce8fc3ac8b6c176e554df68b1a7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ca53bb17f4e8232cfaece3953d3cef62c559b039"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:46:40.600842820+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64398","score":0.00464,"percentile":0.40213,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
