CVE-2022-24448 (GCVE-0-2022-24448)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-02-04 19:45 – Updated: 2024-08-03 04:13
VLAI
Summary
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.
