Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.12.91/6.18.33/7.0.10 and classified as critical. This issue affects the function nfsd4_revoke_states of the component NFSD. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a infinite loop vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-835. The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSD: Fix infinite loop in layout state revocation find_one_sb_stid() skips stids whose sc_status is non-zero, but the SC_TYPE_LAYOUT case in nfsd4_revoke_states() never sets sc_status before calling nfsd4_close_layout(). The retry loop therefore finds the same layout stid on every iteration, hanging the revoker indefinitely.

It is possible to read the advisory at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2026-64519 since 07/19/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 07/26/2026). The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1499 according to MITRE ATT&CK.
