CVE-2024-56740

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Network File System version 3 (NFSv3) LOCALIO component. This vulnerability occurs when NFSv3 LOCALIO is handling read operations and transitions back to standard Remote Procedure Call (RPC) usage, failing to properly clear a reply length buffer. This can lead to memory corruption, where incoming data is written to an incorrect memory location, potentially allowing a local attacker to cause a denial of service or gain unauthorized access.
