An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-37871 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37871/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37871/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-37871","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-37871/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-37871","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-37871","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-37871","GHSA-qwrm-23w5-g55v","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-37871","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-37871","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-37871","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-37871"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NFS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel NFS server can cause a deadlock warning and potential denial of service when handling failed delegation recalls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: decrease sc_count directly if fail to queue dl_recall\n\nA deadlock warning occurred when invoking nfs4_put_stid following a failed\ndl_recall queue operation:\n            T1                            T2\n                                nfs4_laundromat\n                                 nfs4_get_client_reaplist\n                                  nfs4_anylock_blockers\n__break_lease\n spin_lock // ctx-\u003eflc_lock\n                                   spin_lock // clp-\u003ecl_lock\n                                   nfs4_lockowner_has_blockers\n                                    locks_owner_has_blockers\n                                     spin_lock // flctx-\u003eflc_lock\n nfsd_break_deleg_cb\n  nfsd_break_one_deleg\n   nfs4_put_stid\n    refcount_dec_and_lock\n     spin_lock // clp-\u003ecl_lock\n\nWhen a file is opened, an nfs4_delegation is allocated with sc_count\ninitialized to 1, and the file_lease holds a reference to the delegation.\nThe file_lease is then associated with the file through kernel_setlease.\n\nThe disassociation is performed in nfsd4_delegreturn via the following\ncall chain:\nnfsd4_delegreturn --\u003e destroy_delegation --\u003e destroy_unhashed_deleg --\u003e\nnfs4_unlock_deleg_lease --\u003e kernel_setlease --\u003e generic_delete_lease\nThe corresponding sc_count reference will be released after this\ndisassociation.\n\nSince nfsd_break_one_deleg executes while holding the flc_lock, the\ndisassociation process becomes blocked when attempting to acquire flc_lock\nin generic_delete_lease.
