Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-26 03:26:15 UTC

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

NFSv4: Fix free of uninitialized nfs4_label on referral lookup.

Send along the already-allocated fattr along with nfs4_fs_locations, and
drop the memcpy of fattr.  We end up growing two more allocations, but this
fixes up a crash as:
