Unusual access mask flags break access to files via CIFS
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- CIFS
- Mulesoft Anypoint
Issue
- The MAXIMUM ALLOWED access flag is rarely used by normal CIFS clients, but a small fraction of applications set this flag instead of specifying the capabilities they desire access to when performing a Create call.
- It can be determined if a client is attempting to set the MAXIMUM ALLOWED access flag by filtering a packet capture in Wireshark using the filter "smb.access_mask == 0x02000000".
