**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** OpenZFS versions 2.1.13 and earlier OpenZFS versions 2.2.x through 2.2.1 **Description** The issue is related to the replacement of file contents with zero-valued bytes, potentially disabling security mechanisms in certain scenarios involving applications that rely on efficient copying of file data. This can occur when using applications like `cp` from recent GNU Core Utilities (coreutils) versions to preserve rule sets for denying unauthorized access, such as when configuring access control with the `/etc/hosts.deny` file. The issue is not always security-related but can be in realistic situations. **Recommendations** For OpenZFS versions 2.1.13 and earlier, consider updating to a version where this issue is fixed, if available. For OpenZFS versions 2.2.x through 2.2.1, consider updating to a version where this issue is fixed, if available. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of applications that rely on efficient copying of file data, such as `cp`, when preserving security-related configurations until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive files and configurations to minimize the risk of exploitation.
