CVE-2026-74315
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lockd: Avoid hashing uninitialized bytes in nlm4svc_lookup_file()
file_hash() digests the first LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE bytes of
nfs_fh.data when bucketing nlm_files[], independent of fh.size.
Commit 3de744ee4e45 ('lockd: Use xdrgen XDR functions for the
NLMv4 TEST procedure') set .pc_argzero to zero for the converted
procedures and moved file-handle population into
nlm4svc_lookup_file(), which copies only xdr_lock->fh.len bytes
into lock->fh.data.
When an NLMv4 client presents a file handle shorter than
LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE, bytes fh.len..31 retain whatever the argument
buffer held from an earlier request. The same wire handle then
hashes to different buckets across calls; nlm_lookup_file() misses
the existing nlm_file entry, and lock-state lookups fail.
Zero only the tail bytes that file_hash() would otherwise consume.
Handles of LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE or larger already populate every byte
that file_hash() reads.
