Summary

The Linux kernel's ksmbd component, which is the in-kernel SMB server used for file sharing, is affected. Improper handling of SMB lease break and acknowledgment states could cause incorrect cache-state handling during writes and truncates, potentially leading to data consistency problems for clients.

Summarized by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5. Verify details against the original sources.

Read the original description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix lease break and ack state handling Do not skip valid lease states containing WRITE_CACHING when breaking level-II/read leases for writes and truncates. Handle lease break acknowledgments according to the SMB2 rule that the acknowledged state must be a subset of the server's break target. Apply the acknowledged state directly and keep the break pending on failed ACKs.
