AI-suggested

The vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel by correcting the inode size update logic in cifs_do_truncate. Users should apply the official kernel updates containing this fix. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's CIFS client was fixed to prevent incorrect inode size updates during file truncation when no cached handle is available. The issue caused the inode size to be set to zero locally while the server file remained unchanged, leading to inconsistent file size states.
