Subject: [MS-SMB2] allow read based on FILE_EXECUTE permission

Hi,

This question concerns the right to read from a file opened with FILE_EXECUTE but without FILE_READ_DATA in the desired access mask.

According to [MS-SMB2] section section 3.3.5.12, about how to process a READ request:

If Open.GrantedAccess does not allow for FILE_READ_DATA, the request MUST be failed with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.

However, testing against Windows Server 2012R2 shows that if FILE_EXECUTE is granted instead of FILE_READ_DATA, the read is also allowed (I suppose this has to do with running executables...)

The attached tcpdump packet trace demonstrates that - in packet 22, EOF is returned instead of ACCESS_DENIED.

Can you please clarify?

Thanks,
Uri.
