Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-09-11 20:19 - Updated: 2026-09-14 13:19

Severity

9.8 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

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.

A network client drives EXCHANGE_ID, CREATE_SESSION, OPEN, blocking LOCK, DESTROY_SESSION, and DESTROY_CLIENTID into __destroy_client().\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: one client holds a conflicting lock while another queues a blocked lock, then DESTROY_CLIENTID races with lock-grant/CB_NOTIFY_LOCK or the laundromat freeing that lockowner. Concurrent NFS requests create the race, and it can be retried.\nPR:N - Typical nfsd deployments use AUTH_SYS, which does not cryptographically authenticate the client. A remote peer that can reach an export can create NFSv4.1 state and issue DESTROY_CLIENTID without a local account or kernel capabilities on the server.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only attacker-sent NFS RPCs against a running nfsd export. No victim user action such as mounting a filesystem or opening a local file on the server is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free occurs in kernel nfsd lock-owner state on the NFS server host and does not cross a separate security authority such as a VM, guest/host, or IOMMU boundary.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free of the nfs4_lockowner slab object. Reclaiming the freed owner lets an attacker control later reads of so_client and related pointers in remove_blocked_locks(), yielding a kernel information-disclosure primitive.\nI:H - The same UAF is exploitable for integrity: the freed lockowner includes so_ops function pointers and lo_blocked list heads, so heap reuse can hijack control flow or corrupt list pointers for an arbitrary kernel write.\nA:H - The bug is a kernel use-after-free of the lock owner and was observed as a NULL dereference in remove_blocked_locks(), which can oops or panic nfsd and take down the server."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
