CVE-2025-68803

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:NFSD: NFSv4 file creation neglects setting ACLAn NFSv4 client that sets an ACL with a named principal during filecreation retrieves the ACL afterwards, and finds that it is only adefault ACL (based on the mode bits) and not the ACL that wasrequested during file creation. This violates RFC 8881 section6.4.1.3: the ACL attribute is set as given.The issue occurs in nfsd_create_setattr(), which callsnfsd_attrs_valid() to determine whether to call nfsd_setattr().However, nfsd_attrs_valid() checks only for iattr changes andsecurity labels, but not POSIX ACLs. When only an ACL is present,the function returns false, nfsd_setattr() is skipped, and thePOSIX ACL is never applied to the inode.Subsequently, when the client retrieves the ACL, the server findsno POSIX ACL on the inode and returns one generated from the filesmode bits rather than returning the originally-specified ACL.
