AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions. The vendor advisory confirms that this issue has been resolved. Users should update to fixed kernel versions to mitigate this vulnerability.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NFSD component was resolved, specifically in the nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid() function. The function lacked handling for the SC_TYPE_LAYOUT case, causing layout state IDs (stids) revoked by an admin to remain unreleased and not properly cleaned up. This could lead to resource leakage and potential denial of service. The issue has been fixed by ensuring the layout stid is removed from the per-client list and properly released, with cleanup handled when the reference count reaches zero.
