DescriptionCVE.org

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

nfsd: under NFSv4.1, fix double svc_xprt_put on rpc_create failure

On error situation clp->cl_cb_conn.cb_xprt should not be given a reference to the xprt otherwise both client cleanup and the error handling path of the caller call to put it. Better to delay handing over the reference to a later branch.
