CVE-2024-53073

Summary

CVE-2024-53073 is a recently identified vulnerability in the Linux kernel. This issue lies within the NFS (Network File System) daemon component, specifically in the nfsd4_copy() function. The flaw stems from a failure to decrease the value of "pending_async_copies" when an error occurs during the processing of asynchronous copies. As a result, the number of pending copies could exceed the limit, potentially leading to denial-of-service conditions or other unintended consequences. This vulnerability has been addressed in a recent update to the Linux kernel.
