NFSv4.1 Vulnerability in Linux Kernel Affecting Various Systems

CVE-2022-50401

What is CVE-2022-50401?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NFSv4.1 implementation leads to a potential use-after-free condition during rpc_create failures. This occurs when a reference to a service transport is incorrectly managed, delaying cleanup processes that should happen in error states. The issue may result in improper memory access, potentially destabilizing the system or leading to broader security risks. Patching is crucial to ensure the integrity and security of systems using affected kernel versions.
