Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in the smb3_insert_range or smb3_collapse_range process. An attacker can obtain stale or unintended data by accessing files after a range insert or collapse operation when the file offset or end-of-file is not page-aligned.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
