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

nfsd: call cacheput if xdrreservespace returns NULL

If not enough buffer space available, but idmaplookup has triggered lookupfn which calls cacheget and returns successfully. Then we missed to call cacheput here which pairs with cacheget.
