>==              read-only permissions
>==
>== CVE ID#:     CVE-2023-4091
>==
>== Versions:    All Samba versions
>==
>== Summary:     SMB client can truncate files to 0 bytes
>==              by opening files with OVERWRITE disposition
>==              when using the acl_xattr Samba VFS module
>==              with the smb.conf setting
>==              "acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes"
>===========================================================
>
>===========
>Description
>===========
>
>The SMB protocol allows opening files where the client
>requests read-only access, but then implicitly truncating
>the opened file if the client specifies a separate OVERWRITE
>create disposition.
>
>This operation requires write access to the file, and in the
>default Samba configuration the operating system kernel will
>deny access to open a read-only file for read/write (which
>the truncate operation requires).
>
>However, when Samba has been configured to ignore kernel
>file system permissions, Samba will truncate a file when the
>underlying operating system kernel would deny the operation.
>
>Affected Samba configurations are the ones where kernel
>file-system permission checks are bypassed, relying on
>Samba's own permission enforcement.  The error is that this
>check is done against the client request for read-only
>access, and not the implicitly requested read-write (for
>truncate) one.
>
>The widely used Samba VFS module "acl_xattr" when configured
>with the module configuration parameter "acl_xattr:ignore
>system acls = yes" is the only upstream Samba module that
>allows this behavior and is the only known method of
>reproducing this security flaw.
>
>If (as is the default) the module configuration parameter
>"acl_xattr:ignore system acls=no", then the Samba server is
>not vulnerable to this attack.
