"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: fix posix_acl leak on SETACL decode failure\n\nnfsaclsvc_decode_setaclargs() and nfs3svc_decode_setaclargs() each\ncall nfs_stream_decode_acl() twice, first for NFS_ACL and then for\nNFS_DFACL. Each successful call transfers ownership of a freshly\nallocated posix_acl into argp->acl_access or argp->acl_default. If\nthe first call succeeds but the second fails, the decoder returns\nfalse and argp->acl_access is left dangling.\n\nACLPROC2_SETACL.pc_release was wired to nfssvc_release_attrstat and\nACLPROC3_SETACL.pc_release was wired to nfs3svc_release_fhandle.\nBoth only call fh_put() and have no knowledge of the ACL fields on\nargp. The posix_acl_release() pairs sat at the out: labels inside\nnfsacld_proc_setacl() and nfsd3_proc_setacl(), but svc_process()\nskips pc_func when pc_decode returns false, so that cleanup is\nunreachable on decode failure:\n\n svc_process_common()\n pc_decode() /* decode_setaclargs: false */\n /* pc_func skipped */\n pc_release() /* fh_put only -- ACLs leaked */\n\nThe orphaned posix_acl is leaked for the lifetime of the server.\n\nFix by adding nfsaclsvc_release_setacl() and nfs3svc_release_setacl(),\nwhich release both argp->acl_access and argp->acl_default in addition\nto fh_put(), and wiring them as pc_release for their respective SETACL\nprocedures. pc_release runs on every path svc_process() takes after\ndecode, including decode failure, so the posix_acl_release() pairs are\nremoved from the proc functions' out: labels to keep ownership in one\nplace. This matches the existing release_getacl() pattern used by\nthe sibling GETACL procedures."

"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable code is in nfsd's NFS ACL program (RPC program 100227), reachable over the network via the in-kernel NFS server on TCP/UDP port 2049 when NFSD ACL support is enabled.\nAC:L - Once nfsd with ACL support is running, an attacker can reliably trigger the leak by sending a SETACL RPC with mask including both NFS_ACL and NFS_DFACL, a valid first ACL, and a malformed second ACL that fails decode.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires only network access as an NFS client with RPC credentials (AUTH_UNIX is spoofable) from a source IP matching an export entry; no local shell or real root on the server is needed.\nUI:N - Triggering the leak requires only crafted NFS ACL RPC packets; no victim user action such as mounting a filesystem or opening a file is required.\nS:U - The impact is confined to kernel memory consumption within the nfsd server context and does not cross a security boundary such as a VM, container, or IOMMU isolation boundary.\nC:N - This is a kmalloc leak of attacker-supplied ACL data with no out-of-bounds read, use-after-free, or other mechanism that exposes kernel memory to the attacker.\nI:N - The bug orphans allocated posix_acl objects without modifying file data, ACLs on disk, or any other integrity-protected resources.\nA:H - Each trigger permanently leaks a posix_acl allocation (up to ~16KB with max entries) for the server's lifetime; repeated remote SETACL requests can exhaust kernel memory and deny service to the NFS server and co-hosted workloads."
