Overview

What is CVE-2026-90176?

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.
