Temporary file-data corruption via stale SMB3 cache
Published Apr 28, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
Temporary data corruption in Linux 5.13 through 5.19.11 allows local users to receive stale SMB3 data after insert-range operations. The smb3_insert_range function shifts file contents without invalidating the affected page-cache region, so later reads can use cached data from before the shift. Reachability requires permission to perform an insert-range operation on an SMB3-mounted file; the reported consequence is temporary incorrect file data rather than persistent modification.
