Summary

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NFSv4/pNFS filesystem causes a crash when attempting to reference a null layout in pnfs_layoutcommit_inode. The issue is due to not clearing the NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT flag, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential system hang or kernel panic during write operations to NFS-mounted filesystems, which can disrupt services and cause data loss.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit: 5a5f5c5e5f5e) or apply the appropriate backport for your distribution.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4/pNFS: Clear NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT in pnfs_mark_layout_stateid_invalid Fixes a crash when layout is null during this call stack: write_inode -> nfs4_write_inode -> pnfs_layoutcommit_inode pnfs_set_layoutcommit relies on the lseg refcount to keep the layout around. Need to clear NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT otherwise we might attempt to reference a null layout.
