CVE-2022-50006
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4.2 fix problems with __nfs42_ssc_open A destination server while doing a COPY shouldn't accept using the passed in filehandle if its not a regular filehandle.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.25%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4.2 fix problems with __nfs42_ssc_open A destination server while doing a COPY shouldn't accept using the passed in filehandle if its not a regular filehandle. If alloc_file_pseudo() has failed, we need to decrement a reference on the newly created inode, otherwise it leaks.
