How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:9 kernel-uek-debug-modules-usb to version 0:6.12.0-207.111.5.1.el9uek or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2026-500374.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-debug-modules-usb package and not the kernel-uek-debug-modules-usb package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb/client: validate new EOF for insert range

smb3_insert_range() does not check if the new file size (i_size + len) is valid. This allows FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE to bypass RLIMIT_FSIZE, exceed s_maxbytes, or produce a size outside the loff_t range.

Use check_add_overflow() to calculate the new EOF. Validate it with inode_newsize_ok() before modifying the file.

Reproducer, using a file on a CIFS mount:

bash -c &#39;
    FILE=/mnt/cifs/repro

trap &amp;#34;&amp;#34; SIGXFSZ
ulimit -f 3072		# RLIMIT_FSIZE = 3 MiB

# A regular write is stopped at 3 MiB.
dd if=/dev/zero of=&amp;#34;$FILE&amp;#34; bs=1M count=4 status=none
stat -c &amp;#34;size after write: %s&amp;#34; &amp;#34;$FILE&amp;#34;

# Insert 2 MiB into a 2 MiB file.
truncate -s 2M &amp;#34;$FILE&amp;#34;
fallocate -i -o 0 -l 2M &amp;#34;$FILE&amp;#34;
stat -c &amp;#34;size after insert: %s&amp;#34; &amp;#34;$FILE&amp;#34;

&#39;

Before this change, the regular write stops at the 3 MiB limit, but insert range grows the file to 4 MiB:

dd: error writing &#39;/mnt/cifs/repro&#39;: File too large
size after write: 3145728
size after insert: 4194304

After this change, insert range also fails at the limit and leaves the 2 MiB file unchanged:

dd: error writing &#39;/mnt/cifs/repro&#39;: File too large
size after write: 3145728
fallocate: fallocate failed: File too large
size after insert: 2097152
