- NFSD: Prevent post-shutdown use-after-free in unlock_filesystem Writing a filesystem path to
/proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_filesystem runs nfsd4_cancel_copy_by_sb() before nfsd_mutex is held and before the
handler confirms that nn->nfsd_serv is set. Once nfsd has shut down, nfs4_state_destroy_net() has freed
nn->conf_id_hashtbl but left the pointer intact, so the cancel helper iterates freed slab memory as an
array of struct list_head and then dereferences a bogus nfs4_client when it takes clp->async_lock. A local
administrator holding CAP_SYS_ADMIN can reach this use-after-free by stopping the server and then writing
to unlock_filesystem; KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free read in nfsd4_cancel_copy_by_sb().
nfsd4_revoke_states() walks the same state tables and for that reason already runs only under nfsd_mutex
with nn->nfsd_serv confirmed present. Move the async COPY cancel into that protected section so every
NFSv4 state-table walker on this path observes a running server. Async copies exist only while the server
runs, so gating the cancel on nn->nfsd_serv loses nothing. (CVE-2026-89661)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
