CVE-2025-38231

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description: A NULL pointer dereference issue has been identified in the Linux kernel. The problem occurs when laundromat work accesses nfsd ssc through nfs4 laundromat before nfsd ssc is initialized. Normally, the delayed start of laundromat work allows sufficient time for nfsd ssc initialization to complete. However, in certain situations where the kernel waits too long for userspace responses, the delayed work may start before nfsd ssc initialization finishes. This can cause a NULL pointer dereference.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
