| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: restart ssc_expire_umount walk after dropping nfsd_ssc_lock
nfsd4_ssc_expire_umount() walks nn->nfsd_ssc_mount_list with
list_for_each_entry_safe(ni, tmp, ...). For each expired entry it
sets nsui_busy = true, drops nfsd_ssc_lock to run mntput() on the
source vfsmount, then reacquires the lock to list_del + kfree the
entry and continue iterating via the macro's saved tmp pointer.
The nsui_busy flag protects the current ni from concurrent
nfsd4_ssc_setup_dul() finders during the lock-drop window, but it
does not pin tmp. Another nfsd RPC thread that fails its source-
server mount and reaches nfsd4_ssc_cancel_dul() will, during that
same window, take nfsd_ssc_lock, list_del + kfree its own ssc_umount
item, and release the lock. If that item is the saved tmp of the
expire walk, the next iteration dereferences a freed
nfsd4_ssc_umount_item.
Restart the walk from the head after the mntput() unlock window so
no saved next pointer survives the lock-drop. The list is bounded
by the number of active inter-server source mounts (typically small)
and the expire delayed-work runs periodically rather than per-IO,
so the restart is cheap. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: remove flawed WARN_ON_ONCE from nfsd_mode_check
The header for commit e75b23f9e323 ("nfsd: check d_can_lookup in
fh_verify of directories") details the assumption that justified
adding the WARN_ON_ONCE to nfsd_mode_check(), that assumption is
invalid (in the case of NFS reexport).
When NFSD exports an NFS filesystem it is very possible for
nfsd_mode_check() to encounter a @dentry that doesn't have
i_op->lookup (see nfs_fhget()'s NFS_ATTR_FATTR_MOUNTPOINT and
NFS_ATTR_FATTR_V4_REFERRAL handling, and d_flags_for_inode()).
So remove nfsd_mode_check()'s WARN_ON_ONCE(). The nfserr_notdir
return on that branch must stay. It guards the subsequent
lookup_one_unlocked() -> __lookup_slow() path, which calls
inode->i_op->lookup() with no NULL check, so returning nfserr_notdir
is what keeps a client LOOKUP into such a @dentry from dereferencing
a NULL method pointer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lockd, nfsd: RCU-protect nlmsvc_ops dispatch
nlmsvc_ops is published by nfsd_lockd_init() and cleared by
nfsd_lockd_shutdown() with plain stores, while lockd dereferences
it unguarded from dispatch sites in fs/lockd/svcsubs.c. The pointer
targets nfsd's .rodata and the fopen/fclose callbacks live in nfsd's
.text, so a stale load after rmmod nfsd results in either a NULL
deref or a module-text use-after-free.
Declare nlmsvc_ops as __rcu, publish via rcu_assign_pointer(), clear
via RCU_INIT_POINTER() + synchronize_rcu(). Add a struct module
*owner field to nlmsvc_binding and pin the module across indirect
calls with try_module_get/module_put. When the binding is torn down,
fall back to fput() to avoid leaking struct file references. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: RCU-protect cl_cb_session to fix use-after-free on session teardown
After a DESTROY_SESSION the per-session teardown path can free a
session while rpciod still holds an inflight callback rpc_task that
dereferences clp->cl_cb_session. nfsd4_probe_callback_sync() flushes
cl_callback_wq, but once nfsd4_run_cb_work() has called
rpc_call_async() the rpc_task lives on rpciod; flushing the workqueue
does not wait for it. rpc_shutdown_client() does drain rpciod tasks,
but uses a 1-second wait_event_timeout — tasks stuck in rpc_delay()
(e.g. 2-second NFS4ERR_DELAY retries) can outlive the drain.
destroy path rpciod
------------ ------
unhash_session(ses)
nfsd4_probe_callback_sync(clp)
flush_workqueue(cl_callback_wq)
/* returns; rpc_task still live */
nfsd4_put_session_locked(ses)
free_session(ses) -> kfree(ses)
nfsd4_cb_sequence_done()
reads cb_clp->cl_cb_session
/* freed slab */
A second window exists in nfsd4_process_cb_update(). When
__nfsd4_find_backchannel() returns NULL because unhash_session() has
already removed the destroyed session from cl_sessions,
setup_callback_client() takes the v4.1 early return so
clp->cl_cb_session = ses never fires and the field retains a pointer
to the about-to-be-freed session.
Fix both by converting cl_cb_session to an RCU-protected pointer:
- Move the cl_cb_session = ses assignment in setup_callback_client()
to after rpc_create() succeeds, so it is only published when a
working backchannel exists. Clear cl_cb_session on the error
return in nfsd4_process_cb_update(). Both stores use
rcu_assign_pointer().
- Annotate cl_cb_session with __rcu. All rpciod-side readers use
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_dereference() and check for NULL, bailing to
the appropriate error or requeue path:
encode_cb_sequence4args(), decode_cb_sequence4resok(),
nfsd41_cb_get_slot(), nfsd41_cb_release_slot(),
nfsd4_cb_prepare(), and nfsd4_cb_sequence_done().
- Switch __free_session() from kfree() to kfree_rcu() so the
session slab is not reclaimed until after an RCU grace period,
guaranteeing that rpciod readers inside rcu_read_lock() never
dereference freed memory.
- Pass the session pointer to the nfsd_cb_seq_status and
nfsd_cb_free_slot tracepoints instead of having them re-read
cl_cb_session.
- nfsd4_cb_prepare() calls rpc_exit() when the session is NULL,
routing through the done/release path to requeue the callback. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: release path refs on follow_down() error
nfsd_cross_mnt() initializes a local struct path with mntget() and
dget() before calling follow_down(). On a negative return the error
arm jumps to out without releasing those references:
err = follow_down(&path, follow_flags);
if (err < 0)
goto out;
follow_down() never drops the caller's entry-time refs on any error
sub-case; for example a pre-cross d_manage() failure leaves path
untouched, so the mntget()/dget() taken on entry survive the call.
Every other early-exit arm in nfsd_cross_mnt() (other-namespace
return, IS_ERR(exp2), and the success tail after the swap) already
calls path_put(&path); the err < 0 arm is the lone omission. The
leak inflates mnt_count and d_count on each failed cross-mount,
blocking umount and pinning dentries against the shrinker, and is
reachable by any authenticated NFS client through nfsd_lookup_dentry
or the NFSv4 READDIR encode path.
Fix by calling path_put(&path) before the goto out in the err < 0
arm so the entry-time refs are released on all follow_down() error
returns. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: Reset write verifier when async COPY writeback fails
Async COPY captures nn->writeverf at request time and reports it to
the client via CB_OFFLOAD after the worker kthread completes. When
the post-copy vfs_fsync_range() or filemap_check_wb_err() in
_nfsd_copy_file_range() reports an error, the worker correctly
leaves NFSD4_COPY_F_COMMITTED clear so that CB_OFFLOAD encodes
wr_stable_how as NFS_UNSTABLE, but the server's write verifier is
not rotated.
A client that receives NFS_UNSTABLE in CB_OFFLOAD follows up with
COMMIT to make the copied data durable. With the verifier
unchanged, COMMIT returns the same value the client just received
via CB_OFFLOAD, and the client concludes the copy is durable --
silently dropping the data whose writeback in fact failed. This
violates the UNSTABLE+COMMIT durability contract (RFC 7862 section
15.1, RFC 8881 section 18.32) and matches the bug just fixed in
nfsd_vfs_write() and nfsd_commit().
Rotate nn->writeverf at the writeback-failure site. The async COPY
worker has no svc_rqst, so commit_reset_write_verifier() is not
available here; calling nfsd_reset_write_verifier() directly
mirrors the trace-less reset already used by
nfsd_file_check_write_error() for the same purpose. Filter out
-EAGAIN and -ESTALE, matching commit_reset_write_verifier(), since
neither indicates a durable-storage failure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: restore rq_status_counter to even on all nfsd_dispatch() exit paths
nfsd_dispatch() sets rq_status_counter to an odd value once a request has
been decoded, and back to an even value once it has been fully processed,
forming a seq-lock like protocol with the lockless reader in
nfsd_nl_rpc_status_get_dumpit().
Only the fully successful path restored the counter to even. The cache-hit
(RC_REPLY), drop (RC_DROPIT / RQ_DROPME) and encode-error paths all return
after the odd-valued store without ever bringing the counter back to even.
Once one of those paths is taken, rq_status_counter is left odd: the next
request's decode ORs in 1 (still odd) and only a subsequent successful
encode restores even. While stuck odd, the dumpit reader treats the rqstp
fields as stable and its retry check compares against the same unchanging
odd value, so it never detects concurrent mutation. This exposes actively
mutating fields (e.g. args->ops / args->opcnt during compound decode and
release) to the lockless reader, which can read past the end of the
8-element inline ops array.
Add a helper that advances the counter to the next even value and call it
on every return path that follows the odd-valued store. The decode-error
path is left untouched as it is reached before the counter is set odd. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: sample writeback error cursor before async COPY loop
_nfsd_copy_file_range() samples dst->f_wb_err into "since"
after the copy loop, then uses it to detect writeback errors
via filemap_check_wb_err() once vfs_fsync_range() returns.
Because the nfsd_file cache reuses a single struct file
across requests targeting the same inode, a concurrent
COMMIT or stable WRITE on dst advances dst->f_wb_err to the
current mapping->wb_err via file_check_and_advance_wb_err()
during its own vfs_fsync_range(). If that advancement lands
between the writeback error appearing in mapping->wb_err
and the COPY worker sampling "since", the worker captures
the already-advanced cursor, errseq_check() sees cur ==
since and returns zero, and NFSD4_COPY_F_COMMITTED is set
even though writeback failed. CB_OFFLOAD then encodes
wr_stable_how = FILE_SYNC4, the client treats the copied
data as durable, and the failure becomes silent data loss.
Sample since once at the start of the function. The cursor
then reflects state in effect before this COPY issues any
writes, and filemap_check_wb_err() detects any error that
occurs during the copy regardless of which thread first
observes it. This matches the pattern used by
nfsd_vfs_write() and nfsd4_clone_file_range(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: set SC_STATUS_FREED in nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid for delegations
nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid() handles FREE_STATEID for admin-revoked
delegations but does not set SC_STATUS_FREED before releasing cl_lock.
revoke_delegation() uses this flag to detect whether FREE_STATEID has
already processed the delegation -- without it, the freed delegation is
added to cl_revoked via list_add(), producing a use-after-free when
cl_revoked is later traversed in __destroy_client().
The SC_STATUS_REVOKED path in nfsd4_free_stateid() (line 7983) already
sets SC_STATUS_FREED correctly. Apply the same pattern to the
SC_STATUS_ADMIN_REVOKED path in nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: size fh_verify server sockaddr slot by xpt_locallen
The nfsd_fh_verify and nfsd_fh_verify_err tracepoints declare the
server sockaddr slot sized by xpt_remotelen but fill it from
xpt_local using xpt_locallen:
TP_STRUCT__entry(
...
__sockaddr(server, rqstp->rq_xprt->xpt_remotelen)
...
)
TP_fast_assign(
...
__assign_sockaddr(server, &rqstp->rq_xprt->xpt_local,
rqstp->rq_xprt->xpt_locallen);
...
)
When xpt_locallen exceeds xpt_remotelen, __assign_sockaddr's memcpy
writes past the reserved ring-buffer slot. In the reverse direction
(xpt_locallen < xpt_remotelen) the slot is oversized and the
unwritten tail leaks prior ring-buffer contents to trace consumers.
The write-past-end case is reachable on NFS/UDP. svc_xprt_set_remote()
is only called from svc_tcp_accept() (net/sunrpc/svcsock.c) and from
the RDMA connect path; svc_create_socket() for UDP calls only
svc_xprt_set_local(), so xpt_remotelen stays 0 for the xprt's
lifetime. Every fh_verify trace for an NFSv2/v3-over-UDP request
then copies 16 or 28 bytes from xpt_local into a zero-byte slot.
The other NFSD tracepoints that record the server address
(NFSD_TRACE_PROC_CALL_FIELDS, NFSD_TRACE_PROC_RES_FIELDS,
SVC_RQST_ENDPOINT_FIELDS) already size the server slot by
xpt_locallen; nfsd_fh_verify and nfsd_fh_verify_err were the only
exceptions.
Fix by sizing the server slot with xpt_locallen so the declared slot
matches the copy length. The client slot and its assignment already
agree on xpt_remotelen and are left untouched. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: validate symlink target length in NFSv4 CREATE
nfsd4_decode_create() accepts an unbounded cr_datalen from the wire for
NF4LNK symlink targets, allowing a client to force a kmalloc of up to
the maximum RPC payload size (several MiB) per COMPOUND op that persists
until compound teardown. The VFS rejects oversized targets with
ENAMETOOLONG, but the allocation has already occurred.
Reject cr_datalen == 0 early with nfserr_inval and cr_datalen greater
than NFS4_MAXPATHLEN (PATH_MAX) with nfserr_nametoolong to bound the
allocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: add fh_want_write() for early-verified SETATTR in nfsd_proc_setattr()
The BOTH_TIME_SET branch calls fh_verify() early so setattr_prepare()
can inspect the dentry. This causes nfsd_setattr() to skip
fh_want_write(), so notify_change() runs without a mount write
reference.
Add the missing fh_want_write() call after the early fh_verify(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: block non-SAVEFH ops after FOREIGN PUTFH to prevent NULL deref
When CONFIG_NFSD_V4_2_INTER_SSC is enabled, nfsd4_putfh() can return
success with fh_dentry and fh_export both NULL if fh_verify() returns
nfserr_stale and putfh->no_verify is true. The NFSD4_FH_FOREIGN flag
is set, but the compound dispatch loop only uses this flag to bypass
the nfserr_nofilehandle check -- it does not prevent subsequent ops
from running with a NULL fh_dentry.
A remote client can exploit this by crafting a COMPOUND that includes
an inter-SSC COPY (which causes check_if_stalefh_allowed() to set
no_verify=true on the saved PUTFH) with an additional op inserted
between the source PUTFH and SAVEFH. For example, SETATTR calls
fh_want_write() which dereferences fh_export->ex_path.mnt without
calling fh_verify() first, causing a NULL pointer dereference in the
nfsd kthread.
Fix this by gating the dispatch loop: when NFSD4_FH_FOREIGN is set
and fh_dentry is NULL, only OP_SAVEFH (needed for the inter-SSC flow)
and ops with ALLOWED_WITHOUT_FH (which don't need a resolved
filehandle) may proceed. All other ops receive nfserr_stale, per
RFC 7862 Section 15.2.3 which specifies that foreign filehandle
validation is deferred to the consuming operation and NFS4ERR_STALE
returned at that point. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: cap decoded POSIX ACL count to bound sort cost
nfsd4_decode_posixacl() reads a u32 entry count off the wire and passes
it straight to posix_acl_alloc() and sort_pacl_range(). The latter is
an O(n^2) bubble sort, so a client-chosen count drives unbounded CPU in
the server's compound processing path.
nfsd4_decode_posixacl()
xdr_stream_decode_u32(&count) /* uncapped u32 */
posix_acl_alloc(count, GFP_KERNEL)
sort_pacl_range(*acl, 0, count - 1) /* O(n^2) bubble sort */
The encoder side in the same file already rejects ACLs whose a_count
exceeds NFS_ACL_MAX_ENTRIES, but the decoder introduced in commit
5fc51dfc2eb1 ("NFSD: Add support for XDR decoding POSIX draft ACLs")
omitted the symmetric check.
Fix by rejecting a wire count greater than NFS_ACL_MAX_ENTRIES with
nfserr_inval, before any allocation, so the sort is bounded by
NFS_ACL_MAX_ENTRIES^2 comparisons.
While we're in here, also fix the nfserr_resource return if
posix_acl_alloc() fails. That's not a legal error code for v4.1+. Change
it to return nfserr_jukebox as that's more appropriate for memory
allocation failures. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: clear CALLBACK_RUNNING on failed delegation recall queue
nfsd_break_one_deleg() sets NFSD4_CALLBACK_RUNNING via test_and_set_bit
at entry to serialize recall work, then calls nfsd4_run_cb() to queue
the recall. When the queue attempt fails the refcount bump is undone,
but the RUNNING bit is left set. The only site that clears the bit is
nfsd41_destroy_cb() (fs/nfsd/nfs4callback.c), which runs from the
workqueue and is therefore unreachable when nothing was queued.
The bit becomes a permanent latch on dp->dl_recall.cb_flags: every
subsequent break_lease() on the same delegation hits the early-return
guard in nfsd_break_one_deleg() and silently skips the recall, so the
delegation is never broken and the conflicting open or lock stalls.
Fix by clearing NFSD4_CALLBACK_RUNNING on the !queued branch alongside
the refcount_dec. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: clear opcnt on compound arg release to prevent OOB read
nfsd4_release_compoundargs() resets args->ops to the inline iops[8]
array when the dynamically-allocated ops buffer is freed, but leaves
args->opcnt at its original value (which can be up to 200 for NFSv4.1+
compounds).
If rq_status_counter is stuck at an odd value (which can happen when
nfsd_dispatch() hits an error path after setting it odd), the RPC
status dumpit handler reads min(opcnt, 16) entries from args->ops[].
Since iops only has 8 elements and is the last field in struct
nfsd4_compoundargs, reading indices 8-15 accesses adjacent slab memory
and leaks it to userspace via netlink.
Zero opcnt unconditionally in nfsd4_release_compoundargs() so stale
compound metadata is never exposed through the status interface.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: defer vfree of compound ops to fix rpc_status UAF
The rpc_status netlink dumpit walks every in-flight svc_rqst under
rcu_read_lock and, for NFSv4 requests, reads opnums out of
args->ops[]. But args->ops is a separate vmalloc buffer freed
synchronously by vfree() in nfsd4_release_compoundargs() at the end
of every compound. The dumpit's rcu_read_lock pins the svc_rqst
struct itself (freed via kfree_rcu), but nothing defers the vfree
of the ops buffer across the RCU grace period. A concurrent compound
completion can therefore free the buffer while the dumpit is reading
it — a use-after-free on vmalloc memory.
The trailing seqcount recheck (smp_load_acquire of rq_status_counter)
cannot undo a load that already retired against freed memory.
Fix by replacing vfree(args->ops) with kvfree_rcu_mightsleep(), which
defers the free until after an RCU grace period. This makes the
existing rcu_read_lock in the dumpit sufficient to protect the read.
The tradeoff is that completed compound ops buffers (up to
200 * sizeof(struct nfsd4_op)) persist in memory slightly longer,
across one grace period, before being reclaimed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: don't free session slots that are still in use
nfsd4_sequence() can free the very slot it is currently processing.
When the session shrinker has reduced se_target_maxslots below
se_fchannel.maxreqs, the shrink path checks three conditions before
calling free_session_slots():
1. se_target_maxslots < maxreqs (shrink was advertised)
2. slot->sl_generation == se_slot_gen (slot is up-to-date)
3. seq->maxslots <= se_target_maxslots (client acknowledges)
However, seq->slotid is never checked against se_target_maxslots.
A client using a slot in the range [se_target_maxslots, maxreqs) can
satisfy all three conditions: its slot has the current generation
(set by a prior SEQUENCE), and it sends sa_highest_slotid <=
se_target_maxslots to acknowledge the reduction.
free_session_slots() then kfrees every slot at index >=
se_target_maxslots, including the caller's own slot. The function
continues to write sl_seqid, sl_flags, sl_generation, and stores the
dangling pointer in cstate->slot. Later, nfsd4_store_cache_entry()
copies up to maxresp_cached bytes of the compound reply into the freed
sl_data[] array, corrupting whatever slab object now occupies that
address.
Additionally, a concurrent thread processing SEQUENCE on a different
high-numbered slot can have its slot freed out from under it.
NFSD4_SLOT_INUSE is set under nn->client_lock before the lock is
released, so any concurrent thread past SEQUENCE will have its slot
marked. However, free_session_slots() does not check NFSD4_SLOT_INUSE
before freeing.
Fix both problems by:
1. Checking that the current request's slotid is below the shrink
boundary.
2. Scanning slots in the to-be-freed range for NFSD4_SLOT_INUSE and
deferring the shrink if any are active. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: drop the stateid, not the stateowner, on seqid_op replay retry
In nfs4_preprocess_seqid_op() the stateid is obtained from
nfsd4_lookup_stateid(), which holds a reference on the nfs4_stid
(sc_count) but takes no reference on the stateowner. openlockstateid()
merely casts that stid and likewise takes no reference.
When nfsd4_cstate_assign_replay() returns -EAGAIN (the replay owner is
being torn down, RP_UNHASHED) it has not taken a stateowner reference on
that path. The error handling nevertheless called
nfs4_put_stateowner(stp->st_stateowner), dropping an so_count reference
the function never acquired -- risking a stateowner refcount underflow and
use-after-free -- while leaking the sc_count reference held on the stid.
The leaked stid reference can also stall a concurrent
nfsd4_close_open_stateid() waiting for sc_count to drop.
Drop the reference actually held -- the stid -- before retrying. The
stateowner stays alive through the reference held by the stid. This mirrors
the open path in nfsd4_process_open1(), where the put balances a reference
that path explicitly holds on the stateowner. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: ensure nfsd_file_do_acquire() does not use a non-opened file
->atomic_open is permitted to return success without actually opening
the file. It indicates this by calling finish_no_open().
This means dentry_create() can return a file which hasn't been opened.
This is extremely unlikely as ->atomic_open handlers typically
use finish_no_open() only for already existing files, and dentry_create()
isn't called in that case, and the parent being locked should prevent
races.
However out of an abundance of caution it seems wise to teach nfsd to
only use the file returned by dentry_create() if FMODE_OPENED is set,
indicating that it has in fact been opened. |
