7.5 · HIGH
Published Dec 8, 2025 EPSS 0.35% (28th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-40326 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 8, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

NFSD: Define actions for the new time_deleg FATTR4 attributes

NFSv4 clients won't send legitimate GETATTR requests for these new

attributes because they are intended to be used only with CB_GETATTR

and SETATTR. But NFSD has to do something besides crashing if it

ever sees a GETATTR request that queries these attributes.

RFC 8881 Section 18.7.3 states:

> The server MUST return a value for each attribute that the client

> requests if the attribute is supported by the server for the

> target file system. If the server does not support a particular

> attribute on the target file system, then it MUST NOT return the

> attribute value and MUST NOT set the attribute bit in the result

> bitmap. The server MUST return an error if it supports an

> attribute on the target but cannot obtain its value. In that case,

> no attribute values will be returned.

Further, RFC 9754 Section 5 states:

> These new attributes are invalid t
