CWE ID 416
Summary
CVE-2023-53025 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel. In the NFS (Network File System) subsystem, there existed a use-after-free issue in the function nfsd4_ssc_setup_dul(). If signal_pending() returned true, the schedule_timeout() function would not be executed, resulting in the waiting task remaining in the wait queue indefinitely. This issue has been resolved by adding a call to finish_wait(), which guarantees that the waiting task will be removed from the wait queue upon completion or termination.
