CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-43394
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: Fix cred ref leak in nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit().
nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() uses get_current_cred() without
put_cred().
As we can see from other callers, svc_xprt_create_from_sa()
does not require the extra refcount.
nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() is always in the process context,
sendmsg(), and current->cred does not go away.
Let's use current_cred() in nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit().
