Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during close_lru reaping
An nfs4_openowner left on nn->close_lru after its final CLOSE keeps
its last closed stateid in oo_last_closed_stid, holding only a raw
pointer to its nfs4_client. The laundromat reaps timed-out entries,
drops nn->client_lock, and calls nfs4_put_stid(), which dereferences
the client through cl_lock. Nothing pins the client across that
window, so a concurrent force_expire_client() can free it and
nfs4_put_stid() reads freed memory. __destroy_client() hits the same
race, walking clp->cl_openowners without cl_lock.
Pin the client with cl_rpc_users before dropping client_lock, and
skip clients already expiring. __destroy_client() then cleans up its
own close_lru entries through release_last_closed_stateid(), so
teardown no longer races the laundromat.
