There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 samba-common-libs.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba-common-libs package and not the samba-common-libs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
