In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: release svc_expkey/svc_export with rcu_work

The last reference for cache_head can be reduced to zero in c_show and e_show(using rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock). Consequently, svc_export_put and expkey_put will be invoked, leading to two issues:

  • The svc_export_put will directly free ex_uuid. However,
e_show/c_show will access ex_uuid after cache_put, which can trigger a use-after-free issue, shown below.

  • We cannot sleep while using rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_unlock.
However, svc_export_put/expkey_put will call path_put, which subsequently triggers a sleeping operation due to the following dput.

============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 5.10.0-dirty #141 Not tainted ----------------------------- ... Call Trace: dump_stack+0x9a/0xd0 ___might_sleep+0x231/0x240 dput+0x39/0x600 path_put+0x1b/0x30 svc_export_put+0x17/0x80 e_show+0x1c9/0x200 seq_read_iter+0x63f/0x7c0 seq_read+0x226/0x2d0 vfs_read+0x113/0x2c0 ksys_read+0xc9/0x170 do_syscall_64+0x33/0x40 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x67/0xd1

Fix these issues by using rcu_work to help release svc_expkey/svc_export. This approach allows for an asynchronous context to invoke path_put and also facilitates the freeing of uuid/exp/key after an RCU grace period.
