Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.12.21/6.13.9. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects the function init of the component nfsd. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a initialization vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-665. The product does not initialize or incorrectly initializes a resource, which might leave the resource in an unexpected state when it is accessed or used. The impact remains unknown. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: fix legacy client tracking initialization Get rid of the nfsd4_legacy_tracking_ops->init() call in check_for_legacy_methods(). That will be handled in the caller (nfsd4_client_tracking_init()). Otherwise, we'll wind up calling nfsd4_legacy_tracking_ops->init() twice, and the second time we'll trigger the BUG_ON() in nfsd4_init_recdir().

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2024-58092 since 03/06/2025. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.
