The asynchronous getport path already handles this exact failure\nmode by returning -ENOMEM; only the two register helpers omit the check.\n\nMirror that handling: bail out with -ENOMEM when rpc_sockaddr2uaddr()\nreturns NULL, before the address is fed into the encoder.","cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"cvssVector":null,"cwes":[],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/04441b792ec40eb66349b5fab34b6a2090b5b2dd","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/12bf3e0182ccdaf3b412756a756d3944a7dacaa9","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4a6095de8cb1858e05bdf70b3e7d6d7645c25041","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e01022974355732e748ec8ebc97c558cb624ffe","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a51c49ddb37b883566874aecc66bc5a2e617a96","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cda4aacfb0bbf5c0f90fd0b42c72c749635d1368","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/eb476289c12cc22c8766f8a84eeb7ab46c4e8fb6","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fd22370226a0d8109045d0831fd5aaadee921693","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
