                    "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: validate sockaddr length per family in listener_set\n\nnfsd_sock_nl_policy declares NFSD_A_SOCK_ADDR as a bare NLA_BINARY\nattribute with no minimum length. A CAP_NET_ADMIN caller can send a\n16-byte NFSD_A_SOCK_ADDR with sa_family=AF_INET6, causing a 12-byte\nOOB read across three consumers (rpc_cmp_addr_port, svc_find_listener,\nkernel_bind).\n\nnfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() also parsed and validated each listener\nentry inline in two separate loops, interleaved with mutating the\nrunning listener configuration. The validation was duplicated, used an\nopen-coded \"nla_len < sizeof(struct sockaddr)\" check that was too short\nfor AF_INET6, and handled a malformed entry inconsistently depending on\nwhich loop noticed it.\n\nAdd an nfsd_nl_validate_listeners() helper that walks the entire list\nonce and confirms each entry parses, carries both an address and a\ntransport name, and is long enough for its address family\n(sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) for AF_INET, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6)\nfor AF_INET6, -EAFNOSUPPORT otherwise). Call it before taking\nnfsd_mutex or creating the serv, so a malformed request fails cleanly\nwith no side effects.\n\nSince every entry is known valid by the time the two existing loops\nrun, drop the redundant presence and per-family length checks from\nboth, leaving only the nla_parse_nested() call needed to extract the\ndata."
