🛡️ AZL-50827 — kernel
Description
CVE-2024-47692 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.173.1-1
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: return -EINVAL when namelen is 0
When we have a corrupted main.sqlite in /var/lib/nfs/nfsdcld/, it may
result in namelen being 0, which will cause memdup_user() to return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR.
When we access the name.data that has been assigned the value of
ZERO_SIZE_PTR in nfs4_client_to_reclaim(), null pointer dereference is
triggered.
