The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a memory leak.
The vulnerability exists due to improper resource cleanup in pnfs_layout_process() in the NFSv4.1 pNFS implementation when processing a new layout stateid returned while a valid stateid is still held. A remote attacker can operate an NFSv4.1 server that returns a new layout stateid to cause a memory leak.
