CVE-2026-23297 in Kernel
요약 (영어)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: Fix cred ref leak in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit().
syzbot reported memory leak of struct cred. [0]
nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() passes get_current_cred() to
nfsd_svc(), but put_cred() is not called after that.
The cred is finally passed down to _svc_xprt_create(),
which calls get_cred() with the cred for struct svc_xprt.
The ownership of the refcount by get_current_cred() is not
transferred to anywhere and is just leaked.
nfsd_svc() is also called from write_threads(), but it does
not bump file->f_cred there.
nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() is called from sendmsg() and
current->cred does not go away.
Let's use current_cred() in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit().
