In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: validate nseconds in TIME_DELEG decode paths The xdrgen-based TIME_DELEG_ACCESS and TIME_DELEG_MODIFY decode arms store a raw uint32_t nseconds directly into tv_nsec without enforcing nseconds < NSEC_PER_SEC. The legacy nfsd4_decode_nfstime4 has this check but the TIME_DELEG paths do not. A malformed timespec can propagate through notify_change() to disk. Add range checks in both nfs4xdr.c (SETATTR path) and nfs4callback.c (CB_GETATTR path).

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Network File System Daemon (nfsd). The TIME_DELEG_ACCESS and TIME_DELEG_MODIFY decode paths do not properly validate the nanosecond (nseconds) value in timestamps. This allows a remote attacker to provide a malformed timestamp, which can then be written to disk, potentially leading to data integrity issues or unexpected system behavior.
