CVE-2026-98685

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: discard post-EOF pagecache when extending a file via clone range

cifs remap file range() discarded the pagecache only for the folios overlapping the destination region, so when a clone extends the file the folio straddling the old EOF - which may hold data dirtied past EOF through an mmap - was never dropped and became visible as file content once the file was extended.

Start the discard at the smaller of fstart and the old EOF. i size is still old here, so nothing past the old EOF is flushed to the server.
