CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a use-after-free.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the NFS server's NFSv4 compound operation buffer handling when an rpc_status netlink dump reads operation numbers concurrently with NFSv4 compound request completion. A local user can initiate concurrent operations to trigger a use-after-free.
