CVE-2025-38028 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.7/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFS/localio: Fix a race in nfs_local_open_fh() Once the clp->cl_uuid.lock has been dropped, another CPU could come in and free the struct nfsd_file that was just added. To prevent that from happening, take the RCU read lock before dropping the spin lock.. EPSS estimates a 0.10% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
