Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

NFSv4: Fix free of uninitialized nfs4_label on referral lookup.

Send along the already-allocated fattr along with nfs4_fs_locations, and
drop the memcpy of fattr. We end up growing two more allocations, but this
fixes up a crash as:

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
