on IMA-enforced servers a remote SMB client with write access can truncate appraised files without clearing IMA_DONE_MASK, the highest-impact reachable path.\nAC:L - Once IMA policy is active, an attacker with write access can deterministically truncate a target file; security_path_truncate/file_truncate always run before do_truncate, so stale IMA_DONE_MASK persists reliably with no races or special memory layout.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires only standard file write permission (MAY_WRITE) on the target inode\u2014via local truncate/ftruncate or an authenticated ksmbd/NFS client with write ACL\u2014not real root or init-namespace capabilities beyond normal write access to the appraised file.\nUI:N - The attacker directly issues truncate/ftruncate or remote SETATTR/truncate operations; no victim must mount media, open a file, or perform any separate action beyond the attacker's own write/truncate request.\nS:U - The flaw defeats IMA measurement/appraisal caching within the same kernel integrity authority; it does not cross VM, hypervisor, IOMMU, or container sandbox boundaries.\nC:H - Stale IMA_APPRAISED flags let process_measurement() skip re-appraisal on exec/open, so attacker-modified truncated content in hash-appraised executables runs with a cached pass and can access any data reachable by that code.\nI:H - Without clearing IMA_DONE_MASK on truncation, modified file content retains cached IMA_MEASURED/IMA_APPRAISED state and bypasses re-measurement, re-audit, and re-appraisal, defeating the core IMA integrity guarantee for affected files.\nA:N - The bug is a stale-cache integrity bypass with no kernel memory corruption, oops, panic, hang, or deadlock;
