CVE-2024-57927

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

Description The issue arises when netfslib attempts to copy data on behalf of nfs, creating a new write request and calling nfs netfs init request() with a NULL file pointer, causing nfs file open context() to fail. The fix involves returning if no file pointer is given and emitting a warning for non-copy-to-cache requests. Additionally, nfs netfs free request() is modified to not free the context if the pointer is NULL.

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