CVSS 3.1
3.3 lowCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:NCVE-2022-24448
Low (3.3). EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
An issue was discovered in fs/nfs/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.5. If an application sets the O_DIRECTORY flag, and tries to open a regular file, nfs_atomic_open() performs a regular lookup. If a regular file is found, ENOTDIR should occur, but the server instead returns uninitialized data in the file descriptor.
