Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSD: Initialize struct nfsd4_copy earlier Ensure the refcount and async_copies fields are initialized early. cleanup_async_copy() will reference these fields if an error occurs in nfsd4_copy(). If they are not correctly initialized, at the very least, a refcount underflow occurs.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.10.14, before 6.11.7 (fixed in 6.11.7); version 6.12 only
