In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Prevent lock owner use-after-free during client teardown
__destroy_client() releases a client's open owners, but a lock owner
whose only reference is a blocked lock (nbl) stays on
cl_ownerstr_hashtbl. client_has_state() does not count a bare owner,
so DESTROY_CLIENTID can reach __destroy_client() with such owners
present.
__destroy_client() then walks the table, calling remove_blocked_locks()
on each owner without a reference. Freeing a blocked lock drops the
owner reference held via flc_owner. The per-net laundromat reaps
blocked locks from nn->blocked_locks_lru independently of client state.
The two paths share blocked_locks_lock only for the list splice, not
the owner's lifetime. The laundromat therefore frees the owner as
__destroy_client() dereferences it, a NULL dereference in
remove_blocked_locks().
nfsd4_release_lockowner() holds a reference across the same call;
__destroy_client() does not. Hold cl_lock across the walk, taking a
reference and unhashing each owner, then drop it before
remove_blocked_locks() and nfs4_put_stateowner(), which take
blocked_locks_lock and cl_lock.
SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at low or medium mission impact; Track* at high (mission-essential systems).
A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (no CISA value, KEV listing or exploit code on record) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from Vulnrichment. EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse". CISA's decision table
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
