Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during export state revocation
nfsd4_revoke_export_states() has the same use-after-free as
nfsd4_revoke_states(): it drops nn->client_lock across
revoke_one_stid() and the following read of clp->cl_minorversion, but
the stateid reference it holds does not pin the client. A teardown
racing the dropped lock can free the client while revoke_one_stid()
still dereferences it.
exportfs -u drives this path through NFSD_CMD_UNLOCK_EXPORT, so an
administrator removing an export can race a client expiry.
Skip a client that is already expiring and otherwise pin it with
cl_rpc_users under client_lock before dropping the lock, matching
nfsd4_revoke_states().
