Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Network File System Daemon (NFSD). An issue with file access counting in the nfsd4_add_rdaccess_to_wrdeleg function can lead to an extra access count for nfs4_file objects. This prevents the proper freeing of associated resources when the NFS server service is stopped. Consequently, this can trigger a system bug during shutdown, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
