Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix dentry ref leak on V4ROOT export filehandle lookup
nfsd_set_fh_dentry() leaks the dentry reference from
exportfs_decode_fh_raw() when the NFS3_FHSIZE or NFS_FHSIZE
switch cases detect NFSEXP_V4ROOT and goto out. The out: label
calls exp_put() but never dput(dentry), and fhp->fh_dentry was
never assigned so fh_put() cannot compensate.
A crafted NFSv3 filehandle targeting a V4ROOT export's fsid
triggers the leak on every request.
