Summary
CVE-2022-44103 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel's NFSv4.2 implementation. The issue lies in the function _nfs42_proc_copy_notify(), where two error paths do not properly balance the reference count of an object named `ctx`. This omission can result in reference count leaks, potentially leading to memory inconsistencies and unintended behavior. The vulnerability has been rectified by ensuring that the refcount of `ctx` is balanced before the function returns in both error paths.
