Technical details

A use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability exists in the nfsd4_ssc_setup_dul function within fs/nfsd/nfs4proc.c of the Linux Kernel's NFS server implementation. The flaw occurs during the setup of server-side copy (SSC) operations. A local attacker with low privileges can trigger this condition to cause a kernel panic (denial of service) or read sensitive kernel memory (information disclosure). The issue affects various kernel versions including branches 5.14.x, 5.16.x, and 6.1.x, and was addressed in version 6.2. Patches are available through major Linux distributions and upstream kernel updates.
