      "title": "smb: client: flush and commit data before querying allocated ranges",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsmb: client: flush and commit data before querying allocated ranges\n\nThe mode 0 / FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE fallocate emulation for small interior\nranges in smb3_simple_fallocate_range() issues\nFSCTL_QUERY_ALLOCATED_RANGES and zero-fills any sub-range the server\nreports as an unallocated hole, to force block allocation without\nchanging file contents.\n\nThis is unsafe against Windows servers.  Per the Win32 documentation,\nFSCTL_QUERY_ALLOCATED_RANGES only reports ranges that *may* contain\nnonzero data and is explicitly not coherent with recently written data:\n\n  \"a call to FSCTL_QUERY_ALLOCATED_RANGES [after writing to a network\n   file] would not necessarily return a correct list of allocated\n   regions.  To ensure coherency [...] flush the data to the file\"\n\nfsx (generic/363) reproduces the resulting corruption against Windows\nServer 2022: a range is written, an uncached read returns the data, yet\nthe next FSCTL_QUERY_ALLOCATED_RANGES on that range reports it as a whole\nhole, so the emulation overwrites live data with zeroes.  A network trace\nconfirmed the WRITE, the READ returning data and the query returning an\nempty range list within microseconds.  Samba does not exhibit this; its\nquery is coherent with the written data.\n\nWrite back the dirty pages, drain any outstanding I/O and issue an SMB2\nFLUSH to force the server to commit the data before querying the\nallocated ranges, so the query reflects the data actually present.\n\nWith this, generic/363 passes against both Windows Server 2022 and Samba\nover 100000 fsx operations.",
