CVE-2026-53395
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix dead ACL conflict guard in nfsd4_create
nfsd4_create() steals create->cr_dpacl/cr_pacl into the local nfsd_attrs via the designated initializer, then immediately sets the source pointers to NULL. The subsequent conflict guard tests the already-nilled source fields, making it permanently dead code:
When a client encodes both FATTR4_WORD0_ACL and FATTR4_WORD2_POSIX_{DEFAULT,ACCESS}_ACL in the same CREATE fattr bitmap, nfsd4_acl_to_attr() overwrites attrs.na_pacl/na_dpacl without releasing the originals, leaking two posix_acl slab objects per request. Repeated requests cause unbounded slab exhaustion.

Fix by checking attrs.na_dpacl/na_pacl (the stolen values) instead of the nilled create->cr_dpacl/cr_pacl, matching the correct pattern already used in nfsd4_setattr().

Vulnerabilidad remota en nfsd (NFS daemon) sin autenticación ni interacción: vector CVSS AV:N/PR:N/UI:N. CWE-674 (uso incorrecto de API) causa fuga de memoria en objetos ACL, permitiendo DoS por agotamiento de slab. El atacante explota nfsd4_create() enviando peticiones CREATE con atributos ACL conf
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
