A valid list with zero\nreferring calls therefore leaves the pointer uninitialized, and\nnfs4_callback_sequence() later passes stale slab contents to kfree().\n\nAllocate csa_rclists with kzalloc_objs() so every rcl_refcalls member is\nNULL from the beginning, including valid empty referring call lists.","published":"2026-09-17T17:17:02.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-18T18:17:42.000Z","status":"Received","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00516,"percentile":0.42926,"date":"2026-09-19","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.52%).
