In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: hold rcu across localio cmpxchg retry nfsd_file objects are freed via call_rcu (filecache.c:296), and nfsd_file_slab is created without SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU (KMEM_CACHE(nfsd_file, 0) at filecache.c:789), so the slab page backing a freed nfsd_file becomes freely reclaimable once the RCU grace period elapses. The again: retry block in nfsd_open_local_fh() loads a pointer with cmpxchg and then calls nfsd_file_get(new) (which is refcount_inc_not_zero) without holding rcu_read_lock. The sole caller nfs_open_local_fh() drops rcu_read_lock before invoking this helper, so no outer reader-side critical section covers the load. CPU 0 (nfsd_open_local_fh) CPU 1 (nfsd_file_put_local)
new = cmpxchg(pnf, NULL, ...)
nf = xchg(pnf, NULL)
nfsd_file_put(nf)
last ref -> call_rcu()
/* grace period elapses;
slab page recycled /
nfsd_file_get(new)
refcount_inc_not_zero(&new->nf_ref)
/ operates on recycled memory */
A non-zero word at the nf_ref offset of the recycled object makes the
refcount bump appear to succeed, and the caller then dereferences
new->nf_net and new->nf_file out of freed memory.
Fix by taking rcu_read_lock() immediately before the cmpxchg and
releasing it on all three exits of the if (new) block: the goto-again
retry, the lost-race cleanup path, and the install-succeeded path.
nfsd_file_put() and nfsd_net_put() stay outside the RCU section so
they remain free to block.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Network File System Daemon (nfsd) component. A race condition exists in the nfsd_open_local_fh() function where an nfsd_file object can be freed and its memory recycled while another process attempts to access it. This can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, allowing an attacker to potentially cause memory corruption, disclose sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code.
