Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ksmbd: skip metadata-only opens in sharing checks
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 12:37:01 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104183702.192452-2-icb@fastmail.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104183702.192452-1-icb@fastmail.org>
A READ_CONTROL open without FILE_SHARE_DELETE makes a later DELETE open
of the file fail with STATUS_SHARING_VIOLATION.
ksmbd_smb_check_shared_mode() compares the sharing modes of two opens
even when one holds none of FILE_EXECUTE, FILE_READ_DATA,
FILE_WRITE_DATA, FILE_APPEND_DATA and DELETE. It skips a pair only when
exactly one of them asks for nothing but attribute rights.
Skip a pair of opens unless both hold one of those rights.
Fixes: e2f34481b24d ("cifsd: add server-side procedures for SMB3")

Notes:
An authenticated user can trigger it on any share, and a guest can on a
share with "guest ok = yes". On a share without stored DACLs an open for
FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES and READ_CONTROL needs only search permission on
the directory. A user with that permission can hold such an open without
sharing and block the owner's reads, writes and deletes of a file in it.
Tested on ksmbd-for-next e49296d51ccb with KASAN, with no reports or
warnings. In targeted sharing tests and a KUnit matrix every changed
result removes a sharing violation that MS-FSA does not make.
smbtorture gives the same results as on the base.
A reproducer is available on request.
This fix was developed with LLM assistance.
