ksmbd is trying to set the atime and mtime via notify_change without also setting the ctime. so This patch add ATTR_CTIME flags when setting mtime to avoid a warning.

This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity because triggering the kernel warning requires authenticated file attribute operations, limiting the impact to potential denial of service without compromising system confidentiality or integrity. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not affected by this flaw because the in-kernel SMB server (ksmbd) is not enabled in supported kernels, as Red Hat relies on user-space Samba for SMB services.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
