CVE-2026-89674Patch

NVD description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: fix XDR length calculation in nfsd4_ff_encode_layoutget The XDR buffer size calculation in nfsd4_ff_encode_layoutget() has multiple errors that can result in either an out-of-bounds write or leaking uninitialized kernel memory to the client: - fh_len doesn't account for XDR padding on the file handle data - uid and gid lengths use "8 + len" but xdr_encode_opaque() actually writes "4 + xdr_align_size(len)" bytes - ds_len omits the flags and stats_collect_hint fields (8 bytes), while len's header constant overestimates by 8 bytes -- these partially cancel but leave a net mismatch The worst case occurs with short strings (e.g. uid=0, gid=0 with an odd-sized file handle), where the function writes up to 5 bytes past the reserved XDR buffer. Conversely, when string lengths happen to be 4-byte aligned, the reservation is too large and stale buffer content is sent to the client. Fix this by breaking out every encoded field explicitly in the ds_len calculation, using xdr_align_size() for all variable-length opaque fields, and correcting the header constants.
