In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sunrpc: harden rq_procinfo lifecycle to prevent double-free The svc_release_rqst() function executes the callback inside rqstp->rq_procinfo->pc_release. However, if a worker thread begins processing a new request and encounters an early error path (e.g., unsupported protocol, short frame, or bad auth) before a valid rq_procinfo is installed, a stale release hook can be re-triggered against reused state from the previous RPC, resulting in a double-free or use-after-free vulnerability. Harden the lifecycle of rq_procinfo by:
- Ensuring svc_release_rqst() always clears rq_procinfo after the optional pc_release() call, regardless of whether the hook exists.
- Explicitly clearing rq_procinfo at request entry in svc_process() before any early decode or drop paths.
- Ensuring svc_process_bc() does the same at backchannel entry.
This guarantees that error flows will not encounter a non-NULL stale
rq_procinfo pointer when there is nothing to release.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's sunrpc component. When a worker thread processes a new request and encounters an early error, a stale release hook can be re-triggered against previously used data. This can lead to a double-free or use-after-free vulnerability, potentially allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
