Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4: Fix memory leak in nfs4_set_security_label We leak nfs_fattr and nfs4_label every time we set a security xattr. A vulnerability was found in the nfs4_set_security_label() in the Linux kernel, where the function fails to free the nfs_fattr attribute before exiting, leaving said memory allocation present. As the nfs4_set_security_label() is called repeatedly over time, this may lead to memory exhaustion.
