"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: fix nfsd_file reference leak in nfsd4_add_rdaccess_to_wrdeleg()\n\nnfsd4_add_rdaccess_to_wrdeleg() unconditionally overwrites\nfp->fi_fds[O_RDONLY] with a newly acquired nfsd_file. However, if\nthe client already has a SHARE_ACCESS_READ open from a previous OPEN\noperation, this action overwrites the existing pointer without\nreleasing its reference, orphaning the previous reference.\n\nAdditionally, the function originally stored the same nfsd_file\npointer in both fp->fi_fds[O_RDONLY] and fp->fi_rdeleg_file with\nonly a single reference. When put_deleg_file() runs, it clears\nfi_rdeleg_file and calls nfs4_file_put_access() to release the file.\n\nHowever, nfs4_file_put_access() only releases fi_fds[O_RDONLY] when\nthe fi_access[O_RDONLY] counter drops to zero. If another READ open\nexists on the file, the counter remains elevated and the nfsd_file\nreference from the delegation is never released. This potentially\ncauses open conflicts on that file.\n\nThen, on server shutdown, these leaks cause __nfsd_file_cache_purge()\nto encounter files with an elevated reference count that cannot be\ncleaned up, ultimately triggering a BUG() in kmem_cache_destroy()\nbecause there are still nfsd_file objects allocated in that cache."

"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable path processes remotely supplied NFSv4.1 COMPOUND OPEN requests through the kernel NFS server. An attacker can trigger it over the network against an exposed NFS export.\nAC:L - The attacker can deterministically retain a READ open using WANT_NO_DELEG and then request an uncontended WRITE-only open that receives a write delegation. No race or condition outside the attacker's control is required.\nPR:N - A permissive read-write export using AUTH_SYS or AUTH_NULL can allow an unauthenticated client to establish a session and open an anonymous or world-accessible file. No pre-existing target-system privileges are required in this reasonable deployment.\nUI:N - The malicious client alone can issue the OPEN, DELEGRETURN, and CLOSE operations needed to create repeatable leaks. No victim user action is required.\nS:U - The leak and resulting denial of service remain within the NFS server and host kernel security authority. No virtualization, sandbox, or other security boundary is crossed.\nC:N - The bug retains valid nfsd_file objects and does not free, over-read, or expose their contents. It provides no memory-disclosure primitive.\nI:N - The overwritten pointer causes an orphaned reference rather than a dangling pointer or memory corruption. It provides no arbitrary write, control-flow hijack, or data-modification primitive.\nA:H - The leak can be repeated across attacker-accessible files, retaining file-cache objects and causing resource exhaustion or open conflicts. During final nfsd cache teardown, the remaining objects trigger the slab BUG/WARN path and can panic systems configured to treat warnings as fatal."
