CVE-2024-53146

Summary

CVE-2024-53146 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel that has been addressed. This issue involves the NFS (Network File System) component, specifically the decoding function decode_cb_compound4res(). If the tag length is larger than the maximum value of a U32 (32-bit unsigned integer), an integer overflow can occur during the addition of "length + 4". To mitigate this risk, the decoding process has been modified to prevent arithmetic operations on the potentially unsafe length value. This update helps prevent potential attacks that could exploit the integer overflow vulnerability.
