This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: fix management of listener transports

Currently, when no active threads are running, a root user using nfsdctl

command can try to remove a particular listener from the list of previously

added ones, then start the server by increasing the number of threads,

it leads to the following problem:

[ 158.835354] refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
