During per-net teardown,\nnn->nfsd_serv is cleared before the filecache laundrette is shut\ndown, so the service thread can still run a dispose pass that finds\nmore than eight entries on l->freeme and dereferences a NULL\nsvc_serv:\n\n    nfsd service thread loop\n      nfsd_file_net_dispose(nn)\n        if (!list_empty(&l->freeme)) {\n            ...\n            svc_wake_up(nn->nfsd_serv);   /* nn->nfsd_serv == NULL */\n        }\n\nThe sibling helper nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed() already documents\nthis ordering and caches nn->nfsd_serv into a local before testing it\nfor NULL.  nfsd_file_net_dispose() was introduced with the same raw\nsvc_wake_up(nn->nfsd_serv) call and never picked up the guard.\n\nFix by loading nn->nfsd_serv into a local svc_serv pointer and only\ncalling svc_wake_up() when it is non-NULL, matching the pattern in\nnfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed()."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/nfsd/filecache.c"], "versions": [{"version": "ffb402596147ac583f3464ff5c48feb9423e3838", "lessThan": "f4776c1c4b38fbc459420321c8ece87d0f7f95fb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "ffb402596147ac583f3464ff5c48feb9423e3838", "lessThan": "59baf45a06435194005fc5fa9a42d89f77a30432", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "ffb402596147ac583f3464ff5c48feb9423e3838", "lessThan": "766170b4fd2daaf5c4d6735560101474e18edab6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "ffb402596147ac583f3464ff5c48feb9423e3838", "lessThan": "9f1ddfc8cb9076592401a611eb3a44d36186d014", "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/filecache.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.9", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.109", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc1", "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": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.109"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f4776c1c4b38fbc459420321c8ece87d0f7f95fb"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/59baf45a06435194005fc5fa9a42d89f77a30432"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/766170b4fd2daaf5c4d6735560101474e18edab6"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9f1ddfc8cb9076592401a611eb3a44d36186d014"}], "title": "nfsd: guard nfsd_serv deref in nfsd_file_net_dispose", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
