Descriptions

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

NFSv4: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return()

Commit de144ff4234f changes _pnfs_return_layout() to call
pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() passing NULL as the struct
pnfs_layout_range argument. Unfortunately,
pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() doesn't check if we have a value here
before dereferencing it, causing an oops.

I'm able to hit this crash consistently when running connectathon basic
tests on NFS v4.1/v4.2 against Ontap.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: NFSv4: corrige una desreferencia de puntero NULL en pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return(). Confirme los cambios de144ff4234f _pnfs_return_layout() para llamar a pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() pasando NULL como argumento de estructura pnfs_layout_range. Desafortunadamente, pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() no verifica si tenemos un valor aquí antes de eliminar la referencia a él, lo que provoca un error. Puedo alcanzar este bloqueo de manera consistente cuando ejecuto pruebas básicas de Connectathon en NFS v4.1/v4.2 contra Ontap.
