CVE-2024-50046: NFSv4: Prevent NULL-pointer dereference in nfs42_complete_copies()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4: Prevent NULL-pointer dereference in nfs42completecopies()
On the node of an NFS client, some files saved in the mountpoint of the NFS server were copied to another location of the same NFS server. Accidentally, the nfs42completecopies() got a NULL-pointer dereference crash with the following syslog:
