CVE-2026-90176: Linux kernel ksmbd may miss file lock for single-byte operations
CVE-2026-90176 · published 1 month ago
Summary
The ksmbd component in the Linux kernel used by Debian and Ubuntu (including cloud and LTS versions) could skip a necessary lock check when a file operation involves only one byte. This means another process could modify the same byte at the same time, potentially causing data corruption. Updating the kernel to the latest version provided by your Linux distribution resolves the issue.
What to do
- Update debian linux to version 7.2.6-1.
- Update linux kernel to version 7.2.6.
- Update debian linux to version 6.12.111-1.
- Update bellsoft linux-lts to version 6.12.111-r0.
- Update debian linux-6.12 to version 6.12.111-1~deb12u1.
- Update bellsoft linux-lts to version 6.1.189-r0.
- Update debian linux to version 6.1.190-1.
- Update linux linux to version a89cc145832e81c32199d4ca2e1ea8bd51ed601d or later.

Original advisory text
ksmbd: Do not skip lock checks for single-byte ranges
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: Do not skip lock checks for single-byte ranges check_lock_range() uses inclusive ranges. Its callers pass the end offset as start + length - 1, so start == end represents a valid single-byte range rather than an empty range. The start == end shortcut therefore skips mandatory byte-range lock checks for one-byte reads, writes, copychunk operations and one-byte truncate ranges. A conflicting lock covering that byte is not checked and the operation is allowed to proceed. Remove the shortcut. The truncate size == inode->i_size case is already handled by only calling check_lock_range() when the new size differs from the current file size.
