An in-flight destination write can complete after the server has copied or cloned the requested range and can restore stale cached data over the new server-side contents. This produces persistent destination file corruption and was observed during generic/363 testing against Windows Server. For the CVSS the PR:L because a local user or process with access to the SMB mount and permission to copy or clone into the destination can reach the affected paths without administrative capabilities. AC:H applies because successful triggering depends on a timing window between asynchronous destination I/O and the server-side operation. The issue is not directly reachable through unsolicited network traffic because the vulnerable operation is initiated on the SMB client, although the affected file and copy operation involve a remote SMB server. The confirmed impact is integrity loss through file corruption. There is no supported kernel memory corruption or information disclosure primitive. The worst still defensible availability impact is loss of access to corrupted application data rather than a kernel crash or privilege escalation.", "threat_severity": "Low"}
