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

lockd: Plug nlm_file refcount leak on cached nlm_do_fopen() failure

The cached-file path in nlm_lookup_file() reaches the found: label
unconditionally, even when nlm_do_fopen() fails. At that label
*result and file->f_count are updated before the error is returned.
The wrappers nlm3svc_lookup_file() and nlm4svc_lookup_file() then
bail out of their switch without copying *result back to their
caller, so the proc handler's local nlm_file pointer remains NULL
and the cleanup path skips nlm_release_file(). The f_count
increment is never released, and nlm_traverse_files() can no
longer reap the file because its refcount never returns to zero
between requests.

Short-circuit the cached path so neither *result nor f_count is
touched when nlm_do_fopen() fails on a hashed nlm_file.
