Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2021-38199 (CCN-207006)

Assigned:2021-06-13
Published:2021-06-13
Updated:2021-12-21
Summary:fs/nfs/nfs4client.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4 has incorrect connection-setup ordering, which allows operators of remote NFSv4 servers to cause a denial of service (hanging of mounts) by arranging for those servers to be unreachable during trunking detection.
