This leak means that when the nfs server is shut\ndown it will hang in nfsd_shutdown_net() waiting for\n&nn->nfsd_net_free_done.\n\nThis patch adds the missing nfsd_net_put().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":4.7},"cwes":["CWE-362"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c4bf8f26c51e51bbb840935659a7b3b65a802c07","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e5a73150776f18547ee685c9f6bfafe549714899","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fcb0a417fddb605530c4837e0996620f8ed38023"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:06:45.861874017+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-38567","score":0.00117,"percentile":0.01649,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
