In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: check truncate permission under inode lock
nfsd_setattr() checks whether a size update needs NFSD_MAY_TRUNC
before it takes inode_lock(). The comparison uses the file size sampled
by that unlocked read, but the actual ATTR_SIZE update is applied later
under inode_lock() by notify_change().
This leaves a TOCTOU window for append-only files. If a client sends a
SETATTR that does not shrink the file at the time of the unlocked
sample, a concurrent append can extend the file before nfsd_setattr()
takes inode_lock(). notify_change() then applies a real truncation
without
NFSD: restart ssc_expire_umount walk after dropping nfsd_ssc_lock
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
NFSD: remove flawed WARN_ON_ONCE from nfsd_mode_check
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().
NFSv4.1: fix layout segment leak on the pnfs_layout_process() forget path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4.1: fix layout segment leak on the pnfs_layout_process() forget path
When the server returns a new layout stateid while a valid one is still
held, pnfs_layout_process() calls pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() on
the on-stack free_me list and jumps to out_forget. Segments whose
reference count drops to zero are unlinked from lo->plh_segs and moved
to free_me by mark_lseg_invalid(); for an idle cached segment the layout
header holds the only reference, so this happens on the first decrement.
out_forget never drains free_me -- only the success path calls

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
nfsd: RCU-protect cl_cb_session to fix use-after-free on session teardown
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) c
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-names
nfsd: Reset write verifier when async COPY writeback fails
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 veri
nfsd: sample writeback error cursor before async COPY loop
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->w
nfsd: size fh_verify server sockaddr slot by xpt_locallen
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_sockad
nfsd: validate symlink target length in NFSv4 CREATE
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.
nfsd: add fh_want_write() for early-verified SETATTR in nfsd_proc_setattr()
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().
nfsd: block non-SAVEFH ops after FOREIGN PUTFH to prevent NULL deref
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()
nfsd: check client ownership when cancelling a copy-notify stateid
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: check client ownership when cancelling a copy-notify stateid
On the OFFLOAD_CANCEL path (clp != NULL), manage_cpntf_state() freed the
target cpntf state without checking ownership. The lookup key
st->si_opaque.so_id is allocated cyclically (guessable) and the embedded
clientid is the fixed per-net nn->s2s_cp_cl_id, so any authenticated
NFSv4.2 client could cancel and free another client's copy-notify
stateid.
Compare the creating clientid recorded in state->cp_p_clid against the
requesting client's cl_clientid and return nfserr_bad_stateid on a
mismatch instead of fr
nfsd: check nfsd4_acl_to_attr() return value in nfsd4_create()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: check nfsd4_acl_to_attr() return value in nfsd4_create()
nfsd4_create() stores the return value of nfsd4_acl_to_attr() in
status, but the switch(create->cr_type) block unconditionally
overwrites it in every branch. ACL translation errors are silently
discarded, and the CREATE proceeds without the requested ACL.
Add an early exit check after nfsd4_acl_to_attr(), matching the
pattern already used in nfsd4_setattr().

nfsd: fix BUG_ON in nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid on racing delegation revoke
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix BUG_ON in nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid on racing delegation revoke
nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid reads fp->fi_deleg_file without holding
fi_lock when the parent stateid is a delegation. A concurrent delegation
revoke via the laundromat can clear fi_deleg_file under fi_lock, causing
nfsd_file_get() to return NULL and triggering the BUG_ON.
This race is client-reachable: two NFS clients can trigger it by having
one hold a delegation while another opens the same file to force a
recall. When the first client doesn't respond to the recall, the
laundromat revokes it. A conc
nfsd: fix clock domain mismatch in clients_still_reclaiming()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix clock domain mismatch in clients_still_reclaiming()
clients_still_reclaiming() computes a deadline from nn->boot_time
(CLOCK_REALTIME, ~1.7 billion) but compares it against
ktime_get_boottime_seconds() (CLOCK_BOOTTIME, seconds since boot).
The comparison is always false — it would take ~54 years of uptime
for BOOTTIME to exceed the REALTIME-derived deadline.
This means any client can hold the server in grace indefinitely by
sending CLAIM_PREVIOUS OPEN requests, blocking all non-reclaim
operations for all other clients.
Add boot_time_bt (CLOCK_BOOTTIME) alongside
nfsd: fix cpntf publish race in nfs4_init_cp_state
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix cpntf publish race in nfs4_init_cp_state
nfs4_alloc_init_cpntf_state() published the new cpntf entry into the
s2s_cp_stateids IDR (with cs_type set) in one s2s_cp_lock section, then
took the lock again to list_add() it onto p_stid->sc_cp_list. In the gap
the entry is reachable by so_id but cp_list is still {NULL,NULL} from
kzalloc. A racing OFFLOAD_CANCEL (so_id is echoed to the client as
cnr_stateid, so any NFSv4.2 client can drive it) reaches
manage_cpntf_state() -> _free_cpntf_state_locked() and does list_del() on
the zeroed list_head, oopsing the server.

nfsd: fix fcache_disposal UAF by inlining dispose state into nfsd_net
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix fcache_disposal UAF by inlining dispose state into nfsd_net
nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed() defers fput() to nfsd service threads
via a per-net freeme queue, preventing the shrinker and GC worker from
bearing the cost of closing files (see ffb402596147). However, the
queue lives in a separately-allocated struct nfsd_fcache_disposal that
is freed by nfsd_free_fcache_disposal_net() during per-net teardown.
The global shrinker, laundrette, and fsnotify callbacks can still be
inside nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed() dereferencing that pointer,
causing a use-after-fre
nfsd: fix nfsd_file leak on inter-server COPY setup failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix nfsd_file leak on inter-server COPY setup failure
When nfsd4_setup_inter_ssc() fails, nfsd4_copy() returns
nfserr_offload_denied directly, bypassing the out: label where
release_copy_files() would drop the nf_dst reference taken by
nfs4_preprocess_stateid_op(). Each failed inter-server COPY
leaks one nfsd_file, pinning file/inode/dentry/vfsmount.
Fix by setting status and jumping to out: instead of returning
directly.
