CVE-2022-48828 is an integer-underflow flaw in the Linux kernel NFS server (NFSD) attribute-setting path. NFSv3 and NFSv4 represent file sizes as unsigned 64-bit values, whereas the Linux kernel iattr.ia_size field is a signed 64-bit loff_t. NFSD could decode a client-supplied unsigned file size greater than S64_MAX directly into ia_size. The signed conversion underflows, producing an invalid negative size value. The fix adds validation in the common nfsd_setattr() path to reject file-size values that exceed the representable signed range.
