Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
NFS: Fix LTP test failures when timestamps are delegated<br />
<br />
The utimes01 and utime06 tests fail when delegated timestamps are<br />
enabled, specifically in subtests that modify the atime and mtime<br />
fields using the &#39;nobody&#39; user ID.<br />
<br />
The problem can be reproduced as follow:<br />
<br />
# echo "/media *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" >> /etc/exports<br />
# export -ra<br />
# mount -o rw,nfsvers=4.2 127.0.0.1:/media /tmpdir<br />
# cd /opt/ltp<br />
# ./runltp -d /tmpdir -s utimes01<br />
# ./runltp -d /tmpdir -s utime06<br />
<br />
This issue occurs because nfs_setattr does not verify the inode&#39;s<br />
UID against the caller&#39;s fsuid when delegated timestamps are<br />
permitted for the inode.<br />
<br />
This patch adds the UID check and if it does not match then the<br />
request is sent to the server for permission checking.
