CVE-2024-46695

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A highly privileged user on a Network File System (NFS) client can bypass intended security restrictions and modify security labels on files located on an NFS filesystem. This issue occurs even when root squashing, a security feature designed to limit root user privileges, is enabled on the NFS export. This unauthorized modification of security labels could lead to a bypass of security policies.
