In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: check truncate permission under inode lock
nfsd_setattr() checks whether a size update needs NFSD_MAY_TRUNC
before it takes inode_lock(). The comparison uses the file size sampled
by that unlocked read, but the actual ATTR_SIZE update is applied later
under inode_lock() by notify_change().
This leaves a TOCTOU window for append-only files. If a client sends a
SETATTR that does not shrink the file at the time of the unlocked
sample, a concurrent append can extend the file before nfsd_setattr()
takes inode_lock(). notify_change() then applies a real truncation
without the NFSD_MAY_TRUNC check that rejects IS_APPEND(inode). The VFS
truncate syscall paths perform their own append-only checks before
calling notify_change(), so NFSD must make this decision against the
locked size it is about to change.
Split the write-count acquisition from the truncation permission check.
Keep get_write_access() before the locked setattr work, then recheck
whether the requested size is below i_size_read(inode) after inode_lock()
has been acquired and before notify_change(ATTR_SIZE). This also avoids
the plain unlocked inode->i_size load.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Network File System Daemon (NFSD). A remote attacker, by sending a crafted file attribute modification request (SETATTR) while a file is being concurrently appended, could exploit a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability. This could lead to the unauthorized truncation of append-only files, potentially resulting in data loss.
