      "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: clear opcnt on compound arg release to prevent OOB read\n\nnfsd4_release_compoundargs() resets args->ops to the inline iops[8]\narray when the dynamically-allocated ops buffer is freed, but leaves\nargs->opcnt at its original value (which can be up to 200 for NFSv4.1+\ncompounds).\n\nIf rq_status_counter is stuck at an odd value (which can happen when\nnfsd_dispatch() hits an error path after setting it odd), the RPC\nstatus dumpit handler reads min(opcnt, 16) entries from args->ops[].\nSince iops only has 8 elements and is the last field in struct\nnfsd4_compoundargs, reading indices 8-15 accesses adjacent slab memory\nand leaks it to userspace via netlink.\n\nZero opcnt unconditionally in nfsd4_release_compoundargs() so stale\ncompound metadata is never exposed through the status interface.\n\n[ cel: Remove the kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() sleep from the exposure window ]"
