GHSA-8QR4-5P7H-W8MM
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-21 12:30 – Updated: 2026-05-12 12:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: return -EINVAL when namelen is 0
When we have a corrupted main.sqlite in /var/lib/nfs/nfsdcld/, it may result in namelen being 0, which will cause memdup_user() to return ZERO_SIZE_PTR. When we access the name.data that has been assigned the value of ZERO_SIZE_PTR in nfs4_client_to_reclaim(), null pointer dereference is triggered.
