This violates RFC 8881 section\n6.4.1.3: \"the ACL attribute is set as given\".\n\nThe issue occurs in nfsd_create_setattr(), which calls\nnfsd_attrs_valid() to determine whether to call nfsd_setattr().\nHowever, nfsd_attrs_valid() checks only for iattr changes and\nsecurity labels, but not POSIX ACLs. When only an ACL is present,\nthe function returns false, nfsd_setattr() is skipped, and the\nPOSIX ACL is never applied to the inode.\n\nSubsequently, when the client retrieves the ACL, the server finds\nno POSIX ACL on the inode and returns one generated from the file's\nmode bits rather than returning the originally-specified ACL." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1",

condition is required.\nPR:L - The attacker requires ordinary access to the exported filesystem, but no administrative privileges; export security and parent-directory permissions are enforced.\nUI:R - A separate client or user must first create the target object with a named ACL before an excluded principal can exploit the resulting mode-based permissions.\nS:U - The incorrect authorization and resulting impact remain within the NFSD server and its exported filesystem security authority.\nC:H - Omitting a named deny entry can make a principal fall through to permissive mode bits, exposing the complete contents of sensitive files or inherited directory trees.\nI:H - When the fallback mode permits writing, the excluded principal can fully modify or truncate security-critical NFS data.\nA:H - Unauthorized truncation, or omission of an ACL granting a required service principal access, can persistently make critical NFS-hosted data or applications unavailable." } ] } ],
