In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFS:
Fix use-after-free in nfs4_init_client() KASAN reports a use-after-free
when attempting to mount two different exports through two different NICs
that belong to the same server. Olga was able to hit this with kernels
starting somewhere between 5.7 and 5.10, but I traced the patch that
introduced the clear_bit() call to 4.13. So something must have changed in
the refcounting of the clp pointer to make this call to nfs_put_client()
the very last one.
