Once nfsd has shut down,\nnfs4_state_destroy_net() has freed nn->conf_id_hashtbl but left the\npointer intact, so the cancel helper iterates freed slab memory as an\narray of struct list_head and then dereferences a bogus nfs4_client\nwhen it takes clp->async_lock. A local administrator holding\nCAP_SYS_ADMIN can reach this use-after-free by stopping the server and\nthen writing to unlock_filesystem; KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free\nread in nfsd4_cancel_copy_by_sb().\n\nnfsd4_revoke_states() walks the same state tables and for that reason\nalready runs only under nfsd_mutex with nn->nfsd_serv confirmed\npresent. Move the async COPY cancel into that protected section so\nevery NFSv4 state-table walker on this path observes a running server.\nAsync copies exist only while the server runs, so gating the cancel on\nnn->nfsd_serv loses nothing." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/nfsd/nfsctl.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "3daab3112f039cf849f96764019b096bb0a39d04", "lessThan": "0c1a755b7212e0835398d4df5e782ea85ccd7476", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "3daab3112f039cf849f96764019b096bb0a39d04", "lessThan": "292d915d3ba6fd15eeb88351fa10581683073109", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/nfsd/nfsctl.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "7.0", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "7.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0c1a755b7212e0835398d4df5e782ea85ccd7476" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/292d915d3ba6fd15eeb88351fa10581683073109" } ], "title": "NFSD: Prevent post-shutdown use-after-free in unlock_filesystem", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
