CVE-2026-74315

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

lockd: Avoid hashing uninitialized bytes in nlm4svc_lookup_file()

file_hash() digests the first LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE bytes of

nfs_fh.data when bucketing nlm_files[], independent of fh.size.

Commit 3de744ee4e45 ("lockd: Use xdrgen XDR functions for the

NLMv4 TEST procedure") set .pc_argzero to zero for the converted

procedures and moved file-handle population into

nlm4svc_lookup_file(), which copies only xdr_lock->fh.len bytes

into lock->fh.data.

When an NLMv4 client presents a file handle shorter than

LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE, bytes fh.len..31 retain whatever the argument

buffer held from an earlier request. The same wire handle then

hashes to different buckets across calls; nlm_lookup_file() misses

the existing nlm_file entry, and lock-state lookups fail.

Zero only the tail bytes that file_hash() would otherwise consume.

Handles of LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE or larger already populate every byte

that file_hash() reads.
