CVE-2022-48827

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's NFSD, where improper handling of read requests near the maximum offset can lead to an integer overflow. When a client attempts to read from a near-maximum offset, it causes the server to return an invalid NFS error, resulting in indefinite retries by the client. This behavior can disrupt file access and stability in networked environments.
