Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFS: Fix a potential NULL dereference in nfs_get_client() None of the callers are expecting NULL returns from nfs_get_client() so this code will lead to an Oops. It's better to return an error pointer. I expect that this is dead code so hopefully no one is affected.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 3.17 < 4.4.273) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.5 < 4.9.273) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.10 < 4.14.237) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 4.19.195) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.126) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.44) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.12.11) • linux linux kernel 5.13
