CVE-2026-22980
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: provide locking for v4_end_grace Writing to v4_end_grace can race with server shutdown and result in memory being accessed after it was freed - reclaim_str_hashtbl in particularly. We cannot hold nfsd_mutex across the nfsd4_end_grace() call as that is held while client_tracking_op->init() is called and that can wait for an upcall to nfsdcltrack which can write to v4_end_grace, resulting in a deadlock. nfsd4_end_grace() is also called by the landromat work queue and this doesn't require locking as server shutdown will stop the work and wait for it before freeing anything that nfsd4_end_grace() might access. However, we must be sure that writing to v4_end_grace doesn't restart the work item after shutdown has already waited for it. For this we add a new flag protected with nn->client_lock. It is set only while it is safe to make client tracking calls, and v4_end_grace only schedules work while the flag is set with the spinlock held. So this patch adds a nfsd_net field "client_tracking_active" which is set as described. Another field "grace_end_forced", is set when v4_end_grace is written. After this is set, and providing client_tracking_active is set, the laundromat is scheduled. This "grace_end_forced" field bypasses other checks for whether the grace period has finished. This resolves a race which can result in use-after-free.

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:\n\nnfsd: proporcionar bloqueo para v4_end_grace\n\nEscribir en v4_end_grace puede competir con el apagado del servidor y resultar en que la memoria sea accedida después de haber sido liberada - reclaim_str_hashtbl en particular.\n\nNo podemos mantener nfsd_mutex durante la llamada a nfsd4_end_grace() ya que se mantiene mientras se llama a client_tracking_op->init() y eso puede esperar una llamada ascendente a nfsdcltrack que puede escribir en v4_end_grace, resultando en un interbloqueo.\n\nnfsd4_end_grace() también es llamada por la cola de trabajo 'landromat' y esto no requiere bloqueo ya que el apagado del servidor detendrá el trabajo y esperará por él antes de liberar cualquier cosa a la que nfsd4_end_grace() pudiera acceder.\n\nSin embargo, debemos asegurarnos de que escribir en v4_end_grace no reinicie el elemento de trabajo después de que el apagado ya lo haya esperado. Para esto añadimos una nueva bandera protegida con nn->client_lock. Se establece solo mientras es seguro realizar llamadas de seguimiento de cliente, y v4_end_grace solo programa trabajo mientras la bandera está establecida con el spinlock mantenido.\n\nAsí, este parche añade un campo nfsd_net 'client_tracking_active' que se establece como se describe. Otro campo 'grace_end_forced', se establece cuando se escribe en v4_end_grace. Después de que esto se establece, y siempre que client_tracking_active esté establecido, el 'laundromat' es programado. Este campo 'grace_end_forced' omite otras comprobaciones para determinar si el período de gracia ha terminado.\n\nEsto resuelve una condición de carrera que puede resultar en uso después de liberación."
