[cifs-protocol] SMB1 Trans2SetPathInfo() FileEndOfFileInformation is not enforcing share modes

Hi,
Based on the ZwSetInformationFile() docs
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms804363.aspx) and from my
testing of smb1 against a win7 share, in order to set
FileEndOfFileInformation it is necessary that the file is first opened
with FILE_WRITE_DATA in the access_mask. It then follows that a
Trans2SetPathInfo for FileEndOfFileInformation should implicitly open
the file with FILE_WRITE_DATA before either truncating or extending
the file.
The specific case I'm interested in is the following:
1. Client1 does a CreateFileAndX() on a non-existant file with a share
mode of 0 and holds the file open.
2. Client 2 does a Trans2SetPathInfo() with the level set to
FileEndOfFileInformation (0x104) as documented in the SNIA CIFS
spec. As expected NT_STATUS_SHARING_VIOLATION is returned here.
3. Client 2 does a Trans2SetPathInfo() with the undocumented
pass-through level that also allows setting the
FileEndOfFileInformation (1020 / 0x3FC). The client specifies that
it wants to extend the file size to 100. Interestingly, win7 and
winXP will return NT_STATUS_SUCCESS and successfully extend the
length of the file. This operation seems to be circumventing the
share mode enforcement.
Is #3 actually correct behavior that other servers should implement?
If so, can the cases where share modes are not enforced be enumerated
in the documentation?
I have attached a pcap of a client executing these exact steps against
a win7 server.
Packet 27/28: Step 1
Packet 29/30: Step 2
Packet 33-36: Step 3 (and verifies that the file was indeed extended)
Packet 37/38: Show that share modes should still be enforced.
Thanks!
