Summary

In the Linux kernel's NFS filesystem, there is a potential data corruption vulnerability. During request retransmission, subrequests must be rejoined to the head request, but in some cases they are not, leading to data corruption.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can lead to data corruption on NFS servers, resulting in loss of data integrity and availability issues.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a patched version that ensures subrequests are properly rejoined to the head request before retransmission.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFS: Fix a potential data corruption We must ensure that the subrequests are joined back into the head before we can retransmit a request. If the head was not on the commit lists, because the server wrote it synchronously, we still need to add it back to the retransmission list. Add a call that mirrors the effect of nfs_cancel_remove_inode() for O_DIRECT.
