CVE-2025-22025

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: put dl_stid if fail to queue dl_recall

Before calling nfsd4_run_cb to queue dl_recall to the callback_wq, we

increment the reference count of dl_stid.

We expect that after the corresponding work_struct is processed, the

reference count of dl_stid will be decremented through the callback

function nfsd4_cb_recall_release.

However, if the call to nfsd4_run_cb fails, the incremented reference

count of dl_stid will not be decremented correspondingly, leading to the

following nfs4_stid leak:

unreferenced object 0xffff88812067b578 (size 344):

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
