In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: cancel nfsd_shrinker_work using sync mode in nfs4_state_shutdown_net
In the normal case, when we excute echo 0 > /proc/fs/nfsd/threads, the
function nfs4_state_destroy_net in nfs4_state_shutdown_net will
release all resources related to the hashed nfs4_client. If the
nfsd_client_shrinker is running concurrently, the expire_client
function will first unhash this client and then destroy it. This can
lead to the following warning. Additionally, numerous use-after-free
errors may occur as well.

To resolve this issue, cancel nfsd_shrinker_work using synchronous
mode in nfs4_state_shutdown_net.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity because exploiting the race condition requires administrative privileges to initiate NFS server shutdown alongside concurrent kernel memory pressure, restricting potential impact to local users with elevated permissions. In typical Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments, the kernel NFS server is not enabled by default and is only exposed when explicitly configured. Furthermore, successful triggering requires precise timing during service termination rather than interactions through standard remote NFS client traffic.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent module nfsd from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
