NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by RHEL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

NFS/localio: Fix a race in nfs_local_open_fh()

Once the clp->cl_uuid.lock has been dropped, another CPU could come in and free the struct nfsd_file that was just added. To prevent that from happening, take the RCU read lock before dropping the spin lock.
