CVE-2024-36907: SUNRPC: add a missing rpc_stat for TCP TLS
First published: Thu May 30 2024(Updated: )
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: SUNRPC: add a missing rpc_stat for TCP TLS Commit 1548036ef120 ("nfs: make the rpc_stat per net namespace") added functionality to specify rpc_stats function but missed adding it to the TCP TLS functionality. As the result, mounting with xprtsec=tls lead to the following kernel oops.
