CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's NFS server, specifically in the handling of layout state revocation, where an infinite loop can occur due to a failure to set the status of certain state IDs. This can lead to a denial of service as the revocation process hangs indefinitely, potentially impacting system availability. Administrators of Linux-based systems utilizing NFS should prioritize applying the relevant patches to mitigate this issue.
Original NVD Description
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.
