In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Check the TLS certificate fields in nfs_match_client()
If the TLS security policy is of type RPC_XPRTSEC_TLS_X509, then the
cert_serial and privkey_serial fields need to match as well since they
define the client's identity, as presented to the server.

CVE-2025-68243 [MEDIUM] CWE-295 kernel: NFS: Check the TLS certificate fields in nfs_match_client()
kernel: NFS: Check the TLS certificate fields in nfs_match_client()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Check the TLS certificate fields in nfs_match_client()
If the TLS security policy is of type RPC_XPRTSEC_TLS_X509, then the
cert_serial and privkey_serial fields need to match as well since they
define the client's identity, as presented to the server.
A flaw was found in the NFS client's connection matching logic in the Linux kernel. When using TLS with X.509 certificates (RPC_XPRTSEC_TLS_X509), nfs_match_client() does not verify the cert_serial and privkey_serial fields. This could allow unintended client connection reuse between sessions with different TLS identities.
Statement: This issue affects NFS over TLS configurations using X.509 certific
