CVE-2023-4091

CVE Details

Release Date:	2023-10-10
Impact:	Moderate	What is this?

Description

A vulnerability was discovered in Samba, where the flaw allows SMB clients to truncate files, even with read-only permissions when the Samba VFS module 'acl_xattr' is configured with 'acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes'. The SMB protocol allows opening files when the client requests read-only access but then implicitly truncates the opened file to 0 bytes if the client specifies a separate OVERWRITE create disposition request. The issue arises in configurations that bypass kernel file system permissions checks, relying solely on Samba's permissions.
